What to expect
Mon Repos is a coastal locality in Queensland, Australia, known for its significant loggerhead turtle nesting population. The area is home to the Mon Repos Conservation Park, which protects the nesting areas of turtles, and the Mon Repos Turtle Centre, where visitors can learn about turtle conservation. The beach at Mon Repos is a nesting site for turtles from November to January, and from January to March, visitors can witness the tiny hatchlings emerging from their sandy nests to scurry down the beach towards the sea. The area also features the Barolin Nature Reserve, which is filled with grassy plains and wetlands and has a sizeable population of birds. The locality has a rich history, with the homestead 'Mon Repos' built in 1884 by Augustus Purling Barton, a Queensland sugar industry pioneer
