25.01.2022 Monday ended up being a big day for us. One of our large 60 kg green turtles, Martha has not been a well turtle since she came in. We decided she needed more investigations so we took her to Broome Vets for X-rays and blood tests. Moving such a big turtle is no mean feat. Fortunately our helpers Brad and Kiwi came to the rescue. After numerous X-rays we found she had some faecal blockage but also lots of fluid causing Oedema (swelling) to her right side. Thanks to Dr Peter Nugroho and Vet nurse Anja for their assistance. We are continuing antibiotics and pain relief and monitoring her closely. Broome Veterinary Hospital

25.01.2022 Update on our two young Green Turtles, Mishelle from Broome and Tommy from the Pilbara. Mishelle has fully recovered and eating well - hopeful release this week in Roebuck Bay. Tommy is still undergoing treatment and is nearly submerged. Good sign tonight with her first attempt at food. Another week or two in care.

22.01.2022 After releasing 6 rehabbed animals last weekend (1 possum, 2 marine turtles, 1 whistling kite and 2 sea snakes) we have had a hectic few days with the arrival of 6 new animals (3 marine turtles, 2 sea snakes and 1 black kite.) What quiet weekend? Thanks to Katy Davis the vet from Karratha Vets for the two Hawksbill turtles and driving them up to Broome.

22.01.2022 Thank you to Michael Leake from Habitat Resort for rescuing this beautiful Frill-necked lizard. Appears to have had a mishap with a vehicle and sporting a head injury. Already eating well after 2 days in care.

22.01.2022 We would like to sincerely thank NARB volunteers and Broome Volunteer Fire and Rescue members for giving up their time today to help us fundraise for our turtle rehabilitation project. It was a great turnout and a mammoth effort by all involved. From the bottom of our heart we thank all whom contributed to the fundraising effort.

21.01.2022 Dropped out to the Pilbara Fish truck yesterday to stock up on turtle food. We received a very pleasant surprise that an "anonymous donor" had pre paid for 15kg of squid for our turtles. We purchased another 20kg to last until the Fish Truck's next visit on 21/22 December. Thanks to Scott and the kind donor. Much appreciated.

21.01.2022 We had a pleasant surprise yesterday with a visit from the Hon. Stephen Dawson, MLC, Minister for Environment, Disability Sevices and Electoral Affairs; and Senator Louise Pratt, Labor Senator for Western Australia who dropped in to check on our four marine turtles in rehabilitation. It was great to share our insights on our involvement in wildlife rehabilitation and the development of our future turtle rehabilitation facility.

21.01.2022 Two of our young Green turtles Noelene and Lucky were given VIP treatment from Broome Whale Watching on the Ballena yesterday morning. A huge thanks to Cameron, Valerie and the crew Molly and Kyra for their enthusiastic support. Both turtles had recovered and were released back to their home waters in Roebuck Bay. Live a long and healthy life. It was a great morning with a variety of marine wildlife.

20.01.2022 We received this little cutie today from Beagle Bay. It is an Australian Owlet Nightjar. They are a nocturnal bird but spend the daytime sitting motionless on the ground relying on their camouflage colouration to avoid detection by predators. UPDATE: RIP little buddy 5/7/20. We try our best but we cant win them all.

19.01.2022 Our main organisation in Malaga is currently undertaking fundraising to assist with their veterinary hospital. They are doing really great work down there and support us when we need it.

18.01.2022 Some good news today for our Green Turtle Narelle. Although she is still extremely ill, her blood results show an improvement with her anaemia after 12 days in care and ongoing treatment. We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support from the staff at Broome Veterinary Clinic.

18.01.2022 Only 4 and a half days to go before someone will win this fantastic excursion. You still have a chance to win so drop off your containers at Clementson Street ‘Containers for Cash’ and deposit the money into our turtle fundraising account. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far. Cash For Containers, Broome Whale Watching, #containersforchange

18.01.2022 It seems the turtle grapevine is working too well. Come to Broome for a checkup, rest and a great feed of squid. We received this beautiful 7.5 kilo young female green turtle in this afternoon thanks to Dale and John who found her floating in Dampier Creek. We have named her Noelene. Vet check found she is extremely anaemic so will be in care for a while (with our other 3)

17.01.2022 Great collaboration to get Marney healthy and then back home to the Montebellos. Thanks to all concerned.

17.01.2022 The Broome Turtle Retreat and Spa is not destined to be empty. No guests for a whole week and then Kaisha arrived Sunday morning. A young 7 kg Green Turtle found floating near the mangroves in Dampier Creek. She was rescued and brought in by 2 kayakers, Josh and Stan. Kaisha appears to be suffering from Floaters Syndrome and a possible run in with a shark. Missing her rear left flipper, a lacerated front left flipper and a badly lacerated right rear flipper, and covered in ba...rnacles she is looking very flat. Now in care and being treated with antibiotics the recovery process has commenced. Thanks to Josh and Stan for rescuing her.

16.01.2022 As they say ‘the Broome Turtle Resort is not full’ We received number 7 on Wednesday . This young 7.6 kg green turtle ‘Malin’ was found on the beach at Onslow and was transported to Karratha by Parks and Wildlife Officer Jamie Gault. Aviair then flew the turtle to Broome where it is now being treated for Floater’s Syndrome. The turtle is in good condition so prognosis looks good.

15.01.2022 Good information for people who find sick injured or baby birds on the ground.

14.01.2022 It seems the Spa at Cable Beach Club Resort is popular with the local wildlife on a hot day. We received a call to attend the spa to rescue a Northern Brushtail possum and found this adult female with a belly full of arms and legs . She was a bit dehydrated on such a hot day. She will have a short stay with us before release back into the wild. Thanks to the staff at Cable Beach Club spa for calling it in. Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa

Hopefully no wing damage, possible concussion.
