Was this leech terrestrial or aquatic? (Looks terrestrial in the photo).
Hopefully in the future I can acquire a key and more information to identify leeches down to genus or species, but at the moment family is the best we can do.
Thanks for the sighting.

It was terrestrial, it was on the timber balustrade at the ANBG, so presume it had made it's way up from the rain-forest creek below.
