We might be able to catch one because there is a colony of skinks (two different species) living a couple of houses away.

If you get a chance to examine a captive animal, the scales under the fingers/toes will be strongly keeled for pannosus and smooth for australis. you may need a hand lens for a good look. Not present in the ACT but probably arrive with firewood.
