Hi Ric
Definitely a Cunningham's skink - it's scales are too coarse and the lizard is too 'small' to be a Land Mullet.
In the wild it can be found in rocky areas where when threatened it puffs itself when it is between two layers of rock where its spines help to wedge it in, making it almost impossible to get it out involuntarily.
Kept a few of these as pets during my teens and twenties - lovely lizards.
