International TURTLE Day Today!!!

Hello again everybody - I thought I would take a few minutes out from my own story to tell you a little bit about our local natural wonders. You see - I don't know how many people like turtles in the world?..But I think there is probably millions; or tens of millions! All I know is this fact - that my whole family loves turtles!!!!!!!! If it's a turtle in our local creek; or a turtle on the tele; in the news; on the ABC or BBC or whatever - we love ALL of them... especially the ones in our creek!

We have beautiful little 'longneck's with amazing eyes that 'check you out'. Then there is my wife - she is a complete mad-hatter fan of ALL-things-turtle - my wife, Ozjoe is a self confessed turtle NUT. One of the reasons why I love her so much!
We've even 'renamed' a local council-park - 'turtle park'. Just because there are quite a lot of Australian-long-necked-turtles nesting in the beautiful ponds and surrounds of the park - needless to say it's a favourite place to go for lunch & just watch them go about there day-to-day!
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot.....Happy International TURTLE-DAY!

Do you love turtles like we do too?
