The Eastern Water-Skink is a medium sized skink with shiny scales on body, they can grow up to 30cm long.
The Eastern Water-Skink is usually found close to or on the shore of slow flowing creeks and estuaries, hence its name. Although, the Eastern Water-Skink is not restricted to areas near freshwater, it is frequently found in somewhat dry environments, including sandstone outcroppings and savanna.
It seemed to have a bronze sheen to it's scales.

Good one :)
Sorry Brinez, I just realised your question. It was about 25cm long. :-)
It was the 5th of October.
Nice spotting! I love skinks about how long was it?
