Yep, a Leaf Tailed Gecko. We have heaps of them here at our place. They love to live in darkish moist places, they love our garage which has for one wall a natural sandstone outcrop.
Interestingly, sometimes they drop their tail for defence or escape, but once when I ran over one's tail and squashed it, the gecko died rather than dropping the tail.
One night I was in the garage and heard a very loud barking sort of noise, and wondered for a while where it was coming from. After a short while I realised I was standing on one of these little fella's!
Cheers,
Jason.
