Can anyone help put a name to these please? Is the second one a lizard?

Both seen at Lake Seppings in Albany.

There's a damselfly in another thread if you're interested

The second one is a skink of some sort (and skinks are lizards).

The frog would be the Motorbike Frog, Litoria moorei. There is one other large green frog which occurs from Albany east, but that one doesn’t have the stripe down the centre of the dorsal surface.

Thanks so much both of you.

I wondered if that was a Motobike Frog (there'd been one in the garden), but didn't know if there were other look-alikes.
