Galup Reserve/ Lake Monger - Turtle Walk & Talk part 1/2

Free Educational Community Turtle Tour 2025 Walk & Talk exploring Galup Reserve/Lake Monger, Wembley WA **PART ONE OF TWO** 🐢💚🐢

This Walk & Talk is the first out of the two events planned where the theme for this walk is showcasing the behaviours of I like to call "the emergence of fluffy turtles". This unique behaviour is a snapshot into what our look like once they emerge from their aestevation or "torpor-like state" when the ephemeral wetland they live in dries up. These fluffy turtles, overgrown in algae, mould and everything inbetween causes them to look like awkward wet teddy bears which marks the beginning of the breeding season! 🐢💚🐢

We will be setting up a table with not only Ian's educational posters along with ones promoting 1 Million Turtles and TurtleSAT BUT resources from WWW for history of their local wetlands! We will also have a little table available for the kids and big kids (of course) to get hands on with some preserved specimens and some colouring in! 🐢💚🐢

Make sure to bring all your questions or concerns, let's start a conversation about turtles while we watch some truly unique reptiles! Dress warm and be ready to have a friendly chat about our favourite wildlife!! 😀😊

Bring your camera, bring you best questions, bring the family and most importantly; let's bring fun! 😍🐢😍

This year, for those who wish to make a gold coin donation that would be greatly appreciate but isn't expected as this tour is for fun and raising awareness about our favourite shell pups! 🐢👀🐢
