Under large sheet of decorticated bark as a result of the 2020 bushfires. Total head to tail tip length was probably about 80-85 mm.

A good record - a leaf litter layer skink that probably is very vulnerable to fires.

Thanks @WillO - I had included some notes re size and bushfires, but inadvertantly put them under private notes rather than public. Now fixed and visible to all.
