not really sure about this one. Does this person have any more images ? Could be Pommerhelix mastersi which is found east and south of there. Could be Galadistes molong which has been found at Bungendore. Need to see more mages.

looks like it has a globose shaped shell, more photos will be helpful.

What do you want the photos to show? I have four photos of this particular snail but they are all pretty much from the same aspect. I do have photos of other native snails but they may be a different species. I don't know enough about snails to know.

Any more photos would be helpful. I am thinking it could be Galadistes molong which ranges from Bungendore north to somewhere north of Mudgee. If it is that species it would be a fair way east of its range. So little collecting has been done in that area.

I have checked through my pix and mostly they are very similar to the one I posted so not a great deal of help. I would also think it is G molong rather than P mastersi. Just from looking at the photos online. I will keep an eye out for the latter because I think they could also be found here. Or rather I think not all the native snails here look exactly the same. For some reason I don't have many photos of any of them. Not sure why not since I take multiple photos of just about everything else. It does seem to have stopped raining for the moment so I will be outside a bit more.
