Mathew I thought that this may have been Pseudemoia coventryi but i think the location where you saw it is too low and dry for this species (an occupant of high elevation moist forest) . In that case it is most likely a L. delicata. I will change to record to unidentified until you can get back with more detail of the site.

Hi Will, it was on the lower slopes of Mt Tennent, so dry and shrubby area and, at a guess, around 700m in elevation.

Yes, I too though it was a Lampropholis delicata but was keen to hear Will's comments
