We experienced our only rainstorm of this trip one afternoon while we were cooling our heels in our room at Eden. Within five minutes of the storm starting, these skinks were popping up all around the yard to gobble up small bugs that had apparently been scared up by the water.

Thanks to Stewart Macdonald and Richard Reams for identifying these skinks as G. douglasi. I had initially misidentified them as G. isolepis.

I’ve written up an account of this three-week trip to Australia here.
