Leatherback turtles occur in tropical and temperate waters of Australia. Large numbers of leatherback turtles feed off the south Queensland and New South Wales coasts and off Western Australia's coast, south of Geraldton. They are less abundant in the tropical waters of the northern Australian continental shelf. Most leatherback turtles living in Australian waters migrate to breed in neighbouring countries, particularly in Java and along the northern coast of Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

Heroes
HEROES. When I started myspace nearly 3+ yrs ago I didn't give it much thought when I filled out this 'hero' section. I am now writing my true hero's. To all the Gustavo del Toro's and other Dr's. in the world saving little kids and adults alike. To the firefighters around the world. To the ambulance drivers, life savers on our beaches and paramedics who see tragedy every day and hold lives in their arms. To all the people who work shifts around the clock getting the important 'behind the scenes' stuff done. My hero's are my dearest husband of nearly 30 yrs. Whose love and patience has moulded me into the woman I am now. who loves and adores me for who and what I have acheived. My children who 15 yrs ago would not have made this list,[puberty, yuk] they have grown into the most beautiful pair of adults a mother could ever wish to have. Next comes my Mum, brother, sister and the inlaws. To wonderful Annie who has always been there for me. My sister who hasn't been but has now come back into our family. I adore her for what she has acheived. My nephew who has finished 40 weeks of drug rehab to go to be totally clean. He has been through 'real hell'... next comes the deceased My wonderful Dad. my grandparents, my wonderful f.i.law who passed away at age 45 yrs. on the floor of a factory. To my dearest H.S.T. for being himself even when I didn't know who he really was. M.Gibb former BeeGee, for making the most beautiful music with his brothers. To all my net friends, too many to mention and they all know who they are. To my professional friends in the business who, without their guidance I would not be where I am today. Almsot last but not least, my dearest friend 'b' who I talk to without fail every day. And last to my beautiful friend 'Soul' in N.Y for being a great friend. I love you .
Actors & people I really admire:-
Patricia Clarkson, Tim Robbins, H.S.T. D.Farina, Benicio Del Toro, Holly Hunter, Q.T. & R.R., Kevin Spacey, and Sean Penn.

Sailing.
THE BOW.
THE MAST.
WATCHING THE WIND IN A FLAG. WATCHING KITES.
A windmill spinning, the wind in the surf froth at the beach. My children used to chase the froth along the beach.
TINY CURLY SHELL- A HOME OF A LITTLE BEACH CREATURE.
Writing in my hammock at the beach. Relaxing with a wine or two, or three.ahhaha.
Camping on the beach at Fraser Island. Swimming and snorkeling in the fresh water lakes at Fraser Island. Sneaking through the bush to take photographs of the sea eagles in their nest feeding fish to their babies, and hearing them screech when they see me looking.
Taking photos of nature, feeding the large spiders in and around the trees around my house. Watching the swans, cignets and ducks at the lakes near my home, Walking, Jogging on the beach.
Hearing from my friends via. snail mail. Nothing like getting a real letter. Watching the little whip snake that lives in my apple tree outside my office window. Picking my own fruit off my fruit trees in my yard. Laughing with bestest friends on our deck. I love to laugh. I have a wicked s.o.h.
Enjoying a good glass of red wine or port after dinner. Giving presents to my best friends. Making people laugh.
Your Hidden Talent
Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people.
You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together.
Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.
People crave your praise and complements.
Your purpose in life is to use your power for good
Of all the life paths, yours has the most innate power.
Your power lies in your vision, and you must recruit others to help you in this vision.
You are able to be a great idealist, but you still have the practicality to get things done.
In love, you tend to be a big romantic - but you also tend to keep your distance.
You have a lot of potential, and it's sometimes hard to live up to.
Sometimes you just feel like slipping into obscurity and doing nothing.
You tend to be prone to dramatic emotions, until you step back and look at things honestly.
Who I'd like to meet:
Other Photographers, writers and interesting funny people, because I have a sick sense of humor.
Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Steven Soderbergh, Laura Bickford, Sean Connery, Bill Nighy. John Cleese. Billy Bob Thornton. If you'd like to be a friend of Benicio's Place,
