The original specimen of the Australian short-necked turtle was collected by Ludwig Preiss in 1839 and sent to the Vienna Museum. This specimen was labeled "New Netherland" and was described and named Pseudemyduraumbrina by Seibenrock in 1901. No more specimens of them were created before 1953. The Australian short-necked turtle is scattered across scattered plains in Western Australia, from Perth Airport to Bullsbrook near the Royal Australian Air Force Base. Much of the area has been cleared for urban or agricultural use.
