Are you dreaming of your next big catch? There's nowhere better than Ningaloo to cast a line.

In 2018, an Exmouth fisherman reeled in a 494 kilogram Blue Marlin. Will you be the one to beat his record?

It's Turtley Awesome Trivia Tuesday!

Today, we're learning about the Leatherback Turtle. Did you know...
🐢 The leatherback is largest of all living turtles and the heaviest non-crocodilian reptile. It can grow up to 2.7 metres and 500 kilograms.
🐢 Other turtles have a bony shell, but the leatherback's carapace (exoskeleton) is covered by oily flesh and flexible, leather-like skin.
🐢 The 1992 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records lists the leatherback turtle moving at 35.28 km/h in the water, making it the fastest sea turtle.

Did you learn something new today? Which Ningaloo animal would you like to learn about next?
