Darwin

A fast boat trip operated by ‘Sea Darwin’ from Darwin to Bare Sand Island to view turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs. The island is a research centre for turtles. Volunteers are always sought after to participate in the research by Austurtle inc. Well worth the cost of the trip which includes dinner and drinks.

Beagle Gulf

Found this little guy on the side of the road in search of water. The long necked river turtle can be found in Darwin Northern Territory. Fooled him a few metres down the road to a creek and off he went #wildlife
