while in Bargara Beach we visited Mon Repo Beach. It is a conservatory for all the turtles that come in at night to lay their eggs on the beach. Then in jan to march all the little turtles hatch and make their way to the ocean. There is no guarantee that you will see a turtle. But we got to see two. The first was a big loggerhead turtle. But she couldn't get settled and didn't find a good spot to lay her eggs and headed back to the ocean. We then got to see a flat back turtle instead. It was a great site seeing them lay their eggs and bury them in the sand. Unfortunately the turtles are sensitive to light so they only let you take photos after they have buried the eggs and are about to head back to the ocean. So here is a pic after that. This turtle was maybe about 3 feet long.
