Frances called me to hurry to the garage but didn't sound in pain. When I arrived having sprinted down the hall there was a new reptile. So I sprinted back and grabbed a camera.
By the time of my second appearance the animal had snuck out through a small gap at the edge of the door but it did then pose nicely for some photos. The first image was the last I took, but it does show most of the beast.
The pointy tail reminded me of a Cunningham's Skink (but at about 1/3rd scale).
Referring to the excellent "Reptiles of Victoria" says this is Black Rock Skink (Egernia saxatilis). It is described as uncommon but widespread/
