The mythical Mareeba Tree Tortoise. My wife snapped this one with our SX260 P&S after having passed in several times coming and going from Jabiru Safari Lodge in the Atherton Tablelands of Queensland.
The myth starts here.
Have fun with it.

Too bad you couldn't get a shot with unfurled wings. Then it's at its most impressive.

"The myth starts here." Is that like 'the buck stops here"
Great eye for the shot as they say.. I opened the LP fully expecting a turtle on the branch, while at the same time scratchin' my head wondering how the hell it got up there
Fun shot & post Dennis

A rare find indeed, you must be kicking yourself that your wife beat in snagging the shot first !!
