Strath skinks. ID?

[kakariki]

Took some pics of a skink which lives on the banks of the Angus River in Strathalbyn. Can anyone identify him? He is about 20-25cm long & wasn't at all bothered by me. I could have almost touched him, he was that close to where I was sitting! Last pic is of the area where he lives.

some sort of water skink (eulamprus spp)

Sorry, Strathalbyn is on the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA. More pics....

I checked that one out Ryan. Looks similar but not quite the same.You are on the right track with it being a water skink though, cheers! Anyone else??

Ryan was correct, it's Eulamprus quoyii

The pic I looked at wasn't a good one. Have just checked out some others & Ryan is right, my apologies. Thanks Ryan!
