We have a few of these that live in our garden. It appears to have the characteristic patterning of a Eastern three-lined skink, with the stripes running down the length of its body. There is a prominent black stripes that runs along the sides of its body, with a black stripe running down the spine. It is also not very large, I would say less than 10 cm. It also appears to have a light line in the scale rows. These are also common in cooler climates, which Woodend is.

This is the description of the skink as described on the Reptile Database -
"commencing at the nuchals is a thin black dorsal stripe which extends almost to the level of the hindlimbs; a white dorsolateral stripe on either side commences just behind a level with the ear and extends to the base of the tail; laterally a white supralabial stripe extends over the auricular and becomes a white mid lateral stripe extending to the groin; a black stripe commencing on the snout runs through the eye and becomes a broad upper lateral stripe, bound on either side by the dorsolateral and midlateral white stripes; ventrolaterally creamish on sides of head to a level with the ear"
