Unexpected visitor(s)
What were our dogs barking about? It was nearly dark as I looked through the screen door, being very surprised to find this Eastern Long-necked Turtle on our driveway. These are native to eastern Australia, living in streams and fresh water wetlands.
With a carapace of about 20cm length, this was almost fully grown. I'd previously only seen a very small one around here, so meeting this one was quite a thrill.
After taking these photos I picked it up by the carapace and returned it to the nearby wetlands. To return there itself, it would have needed to cross a road where it already had risked life and limb. More images in PiPs.
SEE UPDATE IN COMMENTS. To my surprise there was a second visitor! (PiPs also)

I'm hiding my head under my carapace.
I took some photos of it (here and in PiPs). It was a little smaller than the first (about 17cm) and unfortunately had a badly damaged carapace indicating it may well have been hit by a vehicle. As far as I could tell, the animal inside was uninjured. I released it near the wetlands and was very pleased to visit later and find that it had been able to make a departure. Photos follow:

Prima, daß Du den Kröten helfen konntest, Bleib gesund, George!
Have a good evening ;-)
Thank you for posting to FFF.
Perhaps they were a couple and it was very kind of you to not only spare them the dangerous road crossing but also reunite them!
