Baby Turtles Hatching! | Osprey Bay Campground | Cape Range National Park
In this episode we stay at Osprey Bay Campground in Cape Range National Park, smack bang in the middle of summer! Why you say, well - bucket list item, tick! So there are a few reasons why we have travelled literally half way across the country to park ourselves up in North Western Australia during the middle of summer. The first was to experience Cape Range National Park in the off-season when there are not many people around, but the main reason was Turtles! We have always wanted to come to the North West during Turtle nesting / hatching season to see if we could experience the amazing beginning of these wonderful little creatures. The Ningaloo Reef, on Western Australia's north-west coast, is one of the world's turtle hotspots. Six out of the seven species of the world's sea turtles have been recorded here so it has always been on our list of placed to go during mating season. And it did not disappoint - enjoy! 😊

Yes, it was a pretty incredible experience. We specifically went up to Cape Range in summer for turtle hatching season. Had been a bucket list item for many years. Was so glad to have ticked it off! 😀😀🐢🐢
Amazing footage of the baby turtles, thanks

What an amazing experience to be part of, thank-you so much for sharing it. It's something we'll have to try to do as well now. I have to admit we'd probably be trying to keep those seagulls away too - I imagine it would be very hard to let nature take her course when surrounded by so many little creatures fighting to survive that first life test.

Absolutly! While the kids try to protect them, they also know not to interfere. It's actually a good bit of home-schooling to let the kids see nature working like that. A fair few of the turtles got plucked out of the ocean, but the kids understand that's the way nature works. One of the many reasons why we love this lifestyle. 👍🐢😀😀
Such a beautiful video loved watching the baby turtles emerge from the sand. Osprey is simply just a beautiful campground and yes it gets nuts there in the peak season so it would of been nice for you to have it sort of to yourselves ☺️

Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing. Way to go Toby! 😊 We invested in an Antiflap kit while in WA. It’s been a worthwhile investment but having said that WA wind can be even too extreme for even the kit. I fitted it myself, wasn’t too bad.

@@VetinaVan if you’re passing through SA we should catch up if you like? That was an interesting observation you made about the temperature difference between either side of the cape.

Thanks guys, yup it was such an amazing experience for us, and it was definitely a bucket list item ticked off! We were meant to be at South Lefroy until the end of the week, but we have hightailed it all the way down to Kalbarri. We got here yesterday, don't fancy being anywhere near a cyclone! 👍😀

Great video. I take it you were there about mid Feb? What time of the day did you go and what beach/area was it exactly. Safe travels.

Yup, mid Feb, we saw these ones at a track just up from 5 Mile, but they are all around that area. Go up at sunset then follow the birds! We were lucky to see 1 come out first, then the rest followed around 10 mins later. Such an awesome experience. 🤙👍🐢🐢
amazing episode, love you so much, blessings🥰❤❤❤
