Most likely two cunningham rock skinks, however the image that i am seeing is quite blurry. I will wait until another moderator (JW) has had a look at it. We may need to get you to email us the original image not downsized. One of us will be in contact with you if the photographs are required.

I don't think they are cunninghamii but I am afraid the images are not clear enough to see any useful detail. They could be Liopholis but I can't prove it.

I reckon the most likely candidate is Cunningham's Skink based on habitat, body form (from what I can make out) and posture, which all suggest E. cunninghami, but I agree that the poor quality photograph make it very difficult, if not impossible to positively ID.
