I wonder what those strange white markings on the back are from??

Egernia saxatilis intermedia

Definitely a copperhead (Austrelaps sp.) and probably Austrelaps superbus, but can't really be sure without seeing the head better, especially the face and particularly the supralabial (upper lip) pattern.

Austrelaps sp.

@JenniferS Are you sure this is the right location for this sighting, as the species shown, Bellatorius major is not naturally found this far west, but rather inhabits coastal areas e.g Gosford at this latitude.
Also, the photos are taken in and around a dwelling, but the location is given as a wilderness area, without any dwellings nearby.

Bellatorias major

A bit of a special sighting Helen, as I think this is a first for this species in NatureMapr (I had to add the species) if I'm correct with my ID.

Ctenotus superciliaris

@Unseen6th whereabouts was this sighting made, as the location doesn't seem to be entered correctly?
