A TALE OF TWO TURTLES , ONE FROM AMERICA WHO RECEIVED A ROUGH SCRUB

Artistic Darwin  visitor  with  unexpected find , a wandering turtle,  in  Anderson  Park Botanical  Gardens , Townsville. Later on, she got her first glimpse of  Curlew  eggs  and  made  a  spotted  butterfly out  of  seashells . 

An odd turtle story surfaced on Magnetic Island  while the Queen of the Jungle  was  absent from the royal estate  ,   in Townsville.

One of her  serfs rolled out  her  wheelie  bins and  noticed   the  large  turtle  bath , filled  with water for the many  birds  she  feeds , was  green   looking .

Brushing  the forelocks from his eyes ,without royal permission , he upended and emptied  the  unsuspecting , smiling  turtle,  a gift  from a  kind  Kiwi  lady, and   gave  it  a  scrub  with  a  short , prickly  broom .


In the process, as the slime was  removed , he discovered  it   was  made by the Little  Tikes  Company, Hudson,  Ohio, with  global  components.
 

When the  Queen   drove up to  her residence, she  immediately noticed  the  spruced up turtle and thought  another  serf   was   responsible . She freely admitted  she had  not   realised   she   had  been  keeping  company  with  a  happy  looking  Yank  ,  who  now  looks  like  something out  of  a  bouncy , glossy  Toyota  Turtle  advertisement .
