Thank you Matt Campbell for identifying and Asimakis Patitsas & Stephen Mahony for confirming the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
5 fingers & 5 toes.
Matt said "This is one that you can make mistakes with around here (S.E. Victoria) where it occurs with one or more Pseudemoia species but as none of those are found in your area it has to be the Eastern Three-lined Skink."
