Excellent photographs - well done. A gravid female glossy bog skink (P rawlinsoni). One key id feature is : upper white dorso-lateral stripe on scale row three (from mid-vertebral line) (on scale row 4 in P. pagenstecheri)

@WillO @Wildlifewarrior80 @PatrickCampbell2 @wombey @BrianLR there is a proposal to list this species as nationally vulnerable under the EPBC Act
https://consult.dcceew.gov.au/draft-conservation-advice-incl-listing-assessment-pseudemoia-rawlinsoni-glossy-grass-skink
You may like to decide whether or not you want to change the conservation rating from Local Native to Vulnerable
Cheers Michael Mulvaney

Thanks for letting us know Michael.
I reckon it's a good idea to change the conservation rating to Vulnerable in accordance with the proposal.
