This little guy was picked up by me a couple of years back trying to cross Essex Street Epping (near Bulkira Road). Eastern Long necked Turtles are usually sighted in the area during Summer. Look out for them lazing about along the creek - a good spot is under the pedestrian bridge linking Essex Street to Vimiera Road. Unfortunately, my first sighting of a Terrys Creek Turtle was a victim of roadkill. Please slow down & watch out for wildlife when driving along roads near bushland.
