22.01.2022 Wow I have just been part of amazing surgery done by Dr Peter Barratt. Anaesthetics by super nurse Shannon. This is a first time surgery done at MCVS to remov...e a fish hook in a.turtle that was not only embedded in the turtles oesophagus it was also large and this poor turtle named Billy would not have survived. Now it is intensive care and finger or flippers crossed. Thanks team and Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital See more

20.01.2022 Today's good news story ! Genevieve Dinning from Putney Public School and her school friends, Marie, Sybella, Sierra, and Olivia, recently with the support and permission from their school principal, conducted several fundrasiers over two days to raise funds for CTRC. Over the two days Genevieve organised a lolly jar guessing cometition, cake stall which had some very yummy items for sale including turtle cookies and much more. Her sister brought along a turtle she had made of debris for a display to highlight the threats to turtles . With these wonderful efforts, Genevieve and the students raised $571.75 for the turtles. Huge thank you to Putney Public School, Marie, Sybella, Sierra , Olivia and Genevieve plus all the students and parents . Your all little legends. !
