G'day all

Just drove 900km back from Kalkarindji where I couldn't get through due to flooding. Dropped a couple of pots in "Lonely Springs" last night. Got no fish, crabs or prawns but did get these sweet little guys.

The bigger one has the red stripe on his face and algae covering his back.

The saw edges have ridged "teeth" and are very sharp. Can anyone ID them?




Now I have 30 minutes to get ready for an 8-ball grand final. What a day!

Looks like a cute little North-western Red-faced Turtle. They are common to your area.
Such a cool little turtle. They get to about 18cm
