From November to March each year, adult turtles come ashore to lay eggs on Mon Repos beach.
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service rangers operate guided tours nightly during the breeding season.
Beach access is now managed during the season to ensure that the impact of humans on nesting sea turtles is minimal.
A turtle conservation movie used at this centre was actually filmed in Ballina, New South Wales approx 7 hours drive from Bundaberg.
It was filmed in the Serpentine River and the turtle was released by the local wild bird rescue man just south of Shaws Bay.
