They are tiny for tortoises, as the females are below 30 centimeters long. Males are much smaller. I photographed turtles in Townsville, in every place where there was some water. So, there shouldn't be problems with creating a new gallery, but the jaunt was for the tortoise, not for the reptile... They are very common and tamed to such an extent that when I was crossing a bridge in the park, the turtles, like ducks, would gather in flocks, expecting to be fed. Interestingly, in bigger water bodies they were much wilder and they would hide under water, once they saw a human approaching them. There was not far from one reservoir to the other, and the turtles were wild and totally free to go where they wished.
