About this event

The Southern Highlands community can contribute towards the preservation of our valuable wildlife. New South Wales is home to 7 species of native freshwater turtle, two of which are found nowhere else, and World Turtle Day is the ideal time to get involved.

World Turtle Day is observed on 23 May every year. This crucial event aims to create awareness about safeguarding turtles and tortoises, along with their habitats, which are rapidly depleting worldwide.

Locally, Wingecarribee Shire Council have been working with researchers and the community to launch the Lake Alexandra Turtle Tour and promote the TurtleSAT app.

The tour is comprised of 5 coreflutes situated around the lake informing people about freshwater turtles, what species they should expect to find, and more.
