Maybe if Rheo can win the 'Central Queensland's Iconic Species Quest', her turtle friends will finally get the attention they deserve.
But can be overcome her nerves? And then there's her rather embarassing habit of breathing through her bottom!
The Fitzroy River Turtle (Rheodytes leukops) is unique to Central Queensland. It was discovered in 1980 and is vulnerable due to factors including loss of habitat, poor water quality and destruction or predation of its nests.
This book was produced as part of Fitzroy Basin Association's community engagement efforts - to share a love and appreciation for the diversity and beauty of the Fitzroy Basin.
