As I think I mentioned before this may be Cystopelta septentrionalis, native to the north coast of NSW. Very similar looking slugs live in the Bellinger Valley and Macleay Valley areas. The name Cystopelta septentrionalis is just a catch-all name for any Cystopelta slug from northern NSW. There may in fact be several different species currently under this name.
