Heron Island

#summervacay Heron Island, nestled in the southern Great Barrier Reef, serves as a vital sanctuary for two endangered sea turtle species: the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta). Each year, from November to March, these turtles return to the island's sandy shores to nest, with hatchlings emerging between January and April . #naturalwonders #australia #familytravel
