User's notes

As soon as I took a photo, the lizard ran into a rocky area with it's tail sticking out... so unfortunately these are the only photos I've got.

Cunningham's Skinks live in family groups generally centred on cracks in a rock outcrop where their tails make it hard for predators to dislodge them. They graze and browse the surrounding vegetation.
