Set me Free.
We went to a controlled release this afternoon of a couple of dozen flatback turtles into the wild.
Eggs are rescued from nests, allowed to hatch in safety and released by our Conservation Commission. The release itself is a time of joy for the kids.
It was not as miserable as it looked, about 25C just before sunset.
