A vision of turtles - a film coming soon

A FILM starring Bundaberg’s most camera-shy residents is about to hit screens all over the world.

Work has finished on the $1.2 million documentary Loggerheads: The Lost Years, and executive producer Larry Zetlin said the turtles really came out of their shells during filming – metaphorically at least.

The crew followed the turtles all over the world to get their footage, trailing them on the slow voyage from Mon Repos to the Gold Coast, all the way to Chile and Peru.

It shows the life stages of a female Loggerhead from the egg being laid, to travelling halfway around the world to South America and back again as she returns to Mon Repos to lay her own eggs – on the very beach where she was born.
