Breed of turtle?

1 ⤊

I rescued a turtle/terrapin from being eaten alive and want to know what breed it is. It is only a baby, shell about 4cm's long, and is entirely black, with orange markings on the underside of it's shell around the edge, and has a long neck. Can any body help? I live in Australia.

It's either a broad shelled river turtle or an eastern snake-necked tortoise.
