mista_austin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hi Guys, Just thought i would post this interesting find. I live on the Georges River (East Hills). Yesterday afternoon at 2pm we pulled up the crab trap off our pontoon to find that we have a green sea turtle in it. Never thought they where known for travelling down rivers as such, especially that far down? Was very healthy and kicking hard to, as soon as we put it on the sand it shot off so fast into the water! Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helliconia Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I spotted one in Cowan Creek just before sunset last weekend as well. I'd never seen one around that area before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Squidy Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great to see he swam away healthy. I was fishing out at the mouth of the hacking last year with a whole squid and hooked up on something, fought really strange and i couldn't think what on earth it could be until i got it in and up popped a turtle head. Thankfully was able to realeas him safely as well. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
