Mary River Turtles

Mary River Turtle (Elusor macrurus) - note the massive tail which gives them the specific name macrurus.

Thank you. Is the attached picture also a Mary River Turtle? It was in an enclosure signed for them, however the large ones above were unsigned in the Freshwater Crocodile enclosure.
 
I would say not, with that bright yellow eye. Maybe a Krefft's River Turtle or a Brisbane Short-necked Turtle perhaps.
 
that last one is a Saw-shelled Turtle Elseya latisternum I believe.
