Northern Long-Necked Turtle — Wurruyung Chelodina Rugosa. The flesh is eaten after it has been cooked. During jiyowk and pangkarrang, the wet season, they can be caught with baited hooks on hand lines in creeks, billabongs and swamps. In malaparr, the dry season hunting involves digging up the turtles that burry themselves in the mud as water levels drop during the dry season.
