Southern water skink - Eulamprus tympanum. Not sure if this name is correct; there are several water skinks that all look very similar.

I have opted for Eupamprus heatwolei because of appearance and location. However, it is difficult to distinguish from Eulamprus tympanum. A close up shot of top of head would help.
