Meet Carrie our life-size loggerhead turtle
Be a junior citizen scientist
Add to our Turtle Mural
Measure-up against the Turtle Totem
PLUS OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES!
Visit the information stalls to learn about turtle, nesting beaches, and what we can all do to help .Meet local conservation volunteers and join in the excitement as the crowd is welcomed and gathers to create the giant turtle formation on the beach, this year with the help of the Bribie Nippers— a spectacular symbol of community care for our ancient mariners.
