Emydura australis, Muzium Sejarah Semulajadi
Spesies ini mempunyai sejarah tatanama yang rumit. Selama bertahun-tahun ia dikenali sebagai Emydura australis (Gray 1841: 445)[6], bagaimanapun pada tahun 1983 namanya telah disinonimkan dengan Emydura macquarii, menurut Iverson et al. 2001.[7] Kini, spesies ini dikenali sebagai Emydura victoriae walaupun terdapat isu tatanama[7] dan kemungkinan wujud semakan semula.
