Not sure of what type it is but it has fantastic markings.

Can anyone help out with identifying it.

Sorry if the pictures are a bit small, I had to resize them to be able to post.

Yep, that's an eastern blue tongue lizard, scientific name Tiliqua scincoides scincoides.

Mark's on the money, that one is a shingleback.

Any ideas

That one's another blue tongue, but a different species; in this case it's a blotched blue tongue lizard, aka Tiliqua nigrolutea
