Not really enough showing to be absolutely positive as you are in the range of Emydura, but as you think it is Chelodina and as it is in a farm dam this is the best option. An image showing the long neck would have been helpful, it seems a bit short here?

Thanks for the tip, Wombey. This one was reluctant to let me get closer - he didn't want to stick his neck out! I'll keep an eye out for Emydura, too.
