©Anne Hoggett: Pleuropoma gouldiana 6 mm diameter on a tree, airstrip track near Lizard Island Research Station. Enlarge the photo to see eye at base of tentacle. This indicates it's not a conventional stylommatophoran land snail according to Dr Frank Koehler (Australian Museum). Instead, it's related to the marine nerites.
