It's def a side or snakeneck. My initial guess was african sideneck as they're the most common sp I've seen. It looks a bit like my reimanni snakeneck, but the shell is a bit different shaped and reimannis don't have those white streaks near the eyes.

Sorry I don't know exactly, but cool looking turtle! I love my similar dude.
 
Yes it is some kind of sideneck turtle but not african at all. It looks more like something from Asia, Newguinea or Australia? But its not a real snakeneck. Her neck is not that long.
 
Snakehead turtle. From Oceania.
 
My amateur vote still goes to murray river haha, my google image results look a lot like that guy.
 
You may be right. I just said it is from Oceania, to encompass the largest area it can come from.

Def not african or s american.
 
You are right, thats it and it looks most likely the subspecies Emydura kreffti.
