Explore: Turtley Awesome Wetlands
The native South-western snake-necked turtle (Chelodina oblonga) is a remarkable reptile that inhabits our rivers and wetlands, though it faces numerous threats to its survival.
To raise awareness and encourage protection efforts, an interactive event at the Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary in Bayswater invites children aged 4-7 to explore the unique life of these fascinating creatures. Participants will learn about the turtle’s distinctive features and environment while searching for them in their natural habitat. The activity concludes with a fun craft project where kids can create their own turtle.
