Looks like Pseudemoia spenceri - probably came with fire wood. This species shelters (and hibernates) in deep splits and holes in dead trees and large logs as well as in deep fissures in rock. Lizard might be injured?

Yes, it was beside a stack of firewood, I didn't notice that it was injured.

Will, I am happy with your ID. Looks a little unusual, but unlikely t be anything else.
