“Is there any chance you were making wishes out there on those waves?” enquired Ina the Dugong dreamily after she had surfed in from above.
“Hey, hey, g’day! Do you want to come and play?” called out two friendly and playful dolphins. “There’s a wave happening!” they beckoned. Their names were Dilly and Dally and they liked to hang out at the perfect break. Right where the crocodiles and sharks kept each other at bay.
“What’s that?” she trembled. “Why has it gone all dark all of a sudden? Hey guys, what’s happening? Where has the sunlight gone?” At that moment in glided Boris the Manta Ray from above, his big black wings ...

As morning approached, Torri had travelled far and made her way up to the north-eastern coast of Australia. From here she was set to head along the coastline of the Cape York Peninsula. Torri was hoping that she was making progress and heading in the right direction. She was now sure that she wanted to be in synch with this mysterious magnetic force.
And so with that, Geronimoo gathered Torri up within his gigantic tail, lifted her high into the air and with one great supernatural flick, sent her flying. In mid-air Torri heard Geronimoo call out, “Head west once you splash down! Safe travels.”
“Oh, my gosh!” gasped Torri, suddenly realising, “That’s why I’m here. This is where I was born. Ningaloo Reef was my first home and where I needed to return to lay my first ever clutch of eggs and hatch my very own turtle babies.”

Drawn by a mysterious force, Torri reluctantly leaves her home on the Great Barrier Reef. She sets off on an epic journey full of adventure,
and makes many friends along the way who help her realise that
she is no ordinary green sea turtle.
Why does her shell become rainbow coloured?
Eventually Torri becomes aware that a magnetic energy has been pulling her toward the biggest event of her life. She finally obeys this force and travels across the top of Australia, helped along by the ocean’s currents until she arrives at Ningaloo Reef. Torri is surprised to learn that this
was where she started her life and where she needed to return to
have her own family. But how did she end up so far away on the
Great Barrier Reef?
