A good record. An unusual location for this species normally found in forested country. Maybe it was washed down the river in flood debris.

Hi WillO, the photo was taken in the bottom of a canoe, the skink may have hitched a ride to the river. If so then it was originally living only a few hundred metres away from that location.
