All the turtles were rescued in October and November of last year. Spud and Prawn (so named because he would only eat prawns) are the two Hawksbill turtles, and were found within days of each other in October, one in Peregian and the other near the North Shore both dehydrated and suffering from floating syndrome.
The Green Turtles were found at the end of October and early November.  Barny Rubble (named due to all the barnacles he had on arrival) was found near Noosa Yacht & Rowing  Club and Nobby near the Mooloolaba Surf Club both floating as well.
