Love making on the driveway.
They weren't concerned about privacy.
Not sure which species of Garden Skink.

The rather plain dorsal surface (not striped or spotty), the black lateral line, and the pale underside suggests the Garden Sking Lampropholis delicata - a species that is certainly found in the region. But let's see what Patrick (our reptile moderator) suggests

Yep, I was thinking this species also, but played it safe to leave it to the moderators to identify.

Yes definitely delicata. Good call Kerri and Steve.
I agree that they look like they're mating due to the alignment of the hips. Observations of fighting tend to be more often witnessed with these small skinks but this is almost surely a mating event. Well taken Steve.
