From the photo it looks like the lizard was coiled up under a rock. Typical behaviour for the copper-tailed skink.

I spotted it from a distance disappearing under the rock and when I lifted the rock it was coiled up underneath, unfortunately it took off into the grass before I could get a better photo!
