North West Island my favourite place in the world. Off the coast of Gladstone, on the
Barrier Reef

What a beautiful sunset with the birds flying in from fishing, to nest for the
night.

Do not make a noise, this turtle is laying eggs we do not want to disturb her. They only come up the beach at night.

Turtle on it’s way down the beach after laying its eggs at North West Island. He is running a little late all the rest
have gone, there is nothing to see but their tracks.

No, that isn’t tyre tracks from a tractor, that’s the turtles track back down to the water after laying its
eggs.

Here is a little guy heading as quick as he can to the water unfortunately for him there are lots of turtle munching sea
gulls around and it is low tide. Good luck little fellow.

Take off, once they hit the water they show their speed, don’t need to worry about the sea-gulls too much any more
but look out for those big cod waiting at the drop off.
