Turtle Encounter
From November through to January, it is an amazing sight to see these huge creatures heaving their way up the beach to find a safe spot to dig a nest and lay their eggs. And then, some 6-8 weeks later (generally between January to March), you can witness the tiny hatchlings emerging from their sandy nests to scurry down the beach towards the sea.

Scuttled just off the coast of Bundaberg this 127m heavy-lift former navy ship is now home to a thriving and developing underwater ecosystem.
