Turtles Australia hosted a free Turtle Talk activity on Friday, January 20, with industry experts present to wow crowds, both young and old.

Cussen Park in Tatura was slowly crawling with freshwater turtles native to the area and News photographer Rechelle Zammit captured many children coming out of their shell to hold the amazing reptiles.
