Diporiphora Australis / Tommy Roundhead Dragon / Eastern Two-lined Dragon

Continuing my reptile theme. Thanks to Pete (Bushcritters) and Amanda for ID.

This cute little lizard ran across the track in front of us. It looked slightly blue/green at the sides I thought but not so in these shots. I don't know if it can change colour or whether it was just a trick of the light.

It was hard to get a good shot because of grasses. I got quite close and even touched it's tail (to try and get it to move into a more open area but it didn't move. Then suddenly it bolted right across the track into longer grass. It was probably about 6 inches or so long.
