58 Notes

59 “It is an amazing privilege to quietly sit and watch these Flatback Turtles nesting on our local beaches.”

The above photo was captured by talented local photographer Amanda Wehr and featured as a part of the Town’s ‘Live it Tell it’ instagram competition in 2017. As a part of the community engagement process, residents were asked to take a photo of what they love about living in Hedland. This spectacular image of the Flatback Turtles captures a unique moment in time for the endangered species, which have been returning to the same beaches to nest for thousands of years. For further Information on Flatback Turtles – please contact Care for Hedland: https://careforhedland.org.au/turtle-monitoring/

“Port Hedland has inspired me to improve my photography skills, so I can capture the unique landscapes only seen in the Pilbara.” - Amanda Wehr Photography www.facebook.com/AmandaWehrPhotography Email: [email protected] #liveittellit
