Speaker 1: The place honor Loss Lost Landmarks.

2
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 3: Atlantis Marine Park came about in nineteen eighty one in

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: two rocks as part of Alan Bonn's Yan Chips Sun

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 3: City plan. Unfortunately, it closed in nineteen ninety due to

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: financial difficulty. But during that time seven bottlenosed dolphins were

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: caught from the local coastal population and used to performance

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: animals for those ten years before it closed. And someone

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: who I guess would have known them intimately, I imagine.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: So John Gardner, Raja La.

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,320

00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: out of Rady so bloody good when he came there.

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,760

Speaker 4: dust for the rest of your career. Mate, do something else.

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Good to talk to you, Tony.

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: Yes, so, John, you were one of the MC's at Atlanta.

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 4: They head compared Atlanta. Really so my boss was actually

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: a circus fellow who break both his legs and he

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 4: got stuck in Pert so he ended up at the

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: park and he made he made the biggest difference to

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: it because he really bought showtime too. You know. Sometimes

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 4: he did this stuff almost documentary style, but he bought

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: the sets, the costumes, the storylines, the whole thing to it. Yeah,

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: And I started there on New Year's Day in nineteen

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: eighty two and it was the biggest day ever at

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: the park. They had seven six hundred people there that day.

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a lot of Peter's ice creams to be sold,

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: and they did. Yeah, the ice cream parlor. Did you

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: have to wear the spoo the sort of spacesuit it

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: was almost Zick Freed and Roy kind of thing. The

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: white and blue thing with the wings.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: We did have. We did have the stay soon. I

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: had the Rome and you're a toga party guy only

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: did the Roman thing. And we all had to have

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: blonde hair. Hair he wanted. He had a whole science about,

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 4: you know what thought the lady should wear. So there

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: was something there for dad and the boys had to

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: look good for home. And then there's the stuff that

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: the kids, obviously, but I did. I did over two

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: thousand lives those there, children and animals, which I think

45
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: they also call ad lib school.

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: They also say never work with either, and you would

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: have been comparing when surely some things would go awry.

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: Absolutely, we used to get bitten sometimes, oh right, knew

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 4: that seals didn't like thunder don't and we would literally

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: be just like you know, like on edge, sort of

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: walking around the stage waiting for something to happen.

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: Wow.

53
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: Where we had a lady pass away watching the show.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 4: It saved up their money to come and she finally

55
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: got there. The dolphins dolphins, So I.

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Know it like a line from a Land of Boris

57
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: said song. Wow.

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 4: But it was a magic place and I think everybody

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: that ever went there still has a very significant memory

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: from from the day they went to the park.

61
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: I think everyone wanted to work there. I mean, swimming

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: with dolphins. What more could you have possibly wanted?

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: Well, I used to do it after work quite often.

64
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: You weren't allowed to. You weren't allowed to prompt them.

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: They come to you a better own volition after work.

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: But I mean I tell dolphins in my arms. Yeah,

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: you know, it's really it's very very touching. Yeah, but

68
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, the whole time I was there that it

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: was something that wouldn't last for long. Yeah, doing it

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: so and we aren't. Fortunately, I don't think it's the

71
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: right thing to do.

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, just spend a lot of time John on stage.

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: They're just worried about falling in or I guess that

74
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: happened every now and then take the wrong step.

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: No, I can honestly say I never fell in one.

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Went in the drink.

77
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: Your feet, but I did get bitten.

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you were done.

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: My mother never kids.

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they are that sort of level, are they?

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: You know, you would leave work, you'd go out for dinner.

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: Would you like not order the fish because you've said

83
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: fish to last a lifetime?

84
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 5: It is.

85
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 4: There is a non glamorous side to doing that. It well,

86
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: them was cutting fish, like cutting all the rewards. Yes, okay,

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: and working in winter before we had winter costumes. We

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: had a policy that if there was even two people

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: in the park, they would get a full show. And

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 4: I've done shows that the rain the rain coming my

91
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 4: year at right angles, you know, and redusing you're setting,

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: they're smiling, doing the whole thing. So yeah, okay, it

93
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 4: was It was tough. It was great.

94
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: That's tourism. Those that you've got to keep the grin on.

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: Even if you're suffering, the show must go on, like

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: an episode of White Lotus, the show musk.

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Well, great memory. Thank you so much for sharing them

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,800

00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: You totally welcome, so lovely to chat to you. Have

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,280

101
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 4: Mate?

102
00:04:59,680 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: You have?

00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: You did.

104
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: Bring it out on special occasions. Take it to rotnest

105
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: and try to entice the seal your way. Maybe John Guard,

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: thank you so much.

107
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: Didn't catch up.

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Take care. That would have bought a day. That would

109
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: have been with seven and a half thousand people locals

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: and tourists there. Amazing. Could you imagine driving, you know,

111
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: from anywhere in Perth, especially the southern suburbs, driving a

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: an It'd be like cut lunch and water bottle Like

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: was wasn't it?

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: It was like, you know, just sand. You know, there

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: was no housing, no nothing, limestone. We used to go

116
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: to a friend's house in Sorrento when I was a

117
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 3: kid and that was like you know, on the outskirts of.

118
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: Nothing to the northwest homing back then. So yeah, up

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: to the an Chip that was full on because there

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: was no Welcomos or any of Anglington, any of those

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: suburbs up there. Yet so far from there.

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: Well, Neptune remains, doesn't he Neptune is still there keeping

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: watch over it.

124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: So I feel as though as.

125
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: Long as he remains there, yeah, there's always a chance

126
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: that maybe one day something will happen, not.

127
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: A dolphins, robot dolphins or something. I think the land

128
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: is heritage listed up there as well, so you never know.

129
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, so I don't know if they could

130
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: do much to it, but a lot of it's been

131
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: fenced off.

132
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: My boat.

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: We're sending me a couple of photos yesterday, and it's interesting,

134
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: but it's a bit of graffiti on a few things.

135
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Few the sculptures and the rest of it. There was here, yeah, yeah,

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, it was one of

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: the dolphins, one of the dolphins. Funny how John did

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: so many shows, two thousand shows. He knew the name

139
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: the names of the dolphins all as soon as he

140
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: said them. I recognized at least a couple of them.

141
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: I thought he's talking about the list of gladiators.

142
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, all right, we want to hear from you

143
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: with your memories of Atlantis Marine Park. Nil in Mindari

144
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: says he used to live in crayfish out of two rocks,

145
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: and the dolphins would come to the boat all the

146
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: time and smile and play and just want to feed

147
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: of the cray bait. And they'd race to the boat

148
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 3: from miles away. They love the freshock from the pots.

149
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: He says. They wouldn't do it now though, although some

150
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: are still hanging in the area. I don't know what

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: happened to the dolphins specifically from Atlantis after they returned.

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they came. They had to do a thing where

153
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: they put them in pools, and then after that they

154
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: had like a sea pool kind of thing. That was

155
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: the original crew that Neil was probably talking about. And

156
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: then they sent some back out and some lost a

157
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: lot of weight, so they had to get them back in.

158
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: They ended up there at then at Hillary's and the Yeah,

159
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,440

00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: Pete in your kind to answer your question about what

192
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: happened to the dolphins, they did rehabilitate them back into

193
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: the wild. You were explaining before they started by putting

194
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: them in pools, then moved to a seapen at the

195
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: marina and eventually back into the wild and some of them,

196
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: most of them handled it, okay, a couple of them

197
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: different that didn't. So they recaptured those and took them

198
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: to Underwater World.

199
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,280

00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: we would all most of the kids would be working

204
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,560

00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 5: I started up a volunteer group called Treeta seven years

209
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: ago and we were maintaining and caring for King Neptune.

210
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 5: Local developers came through and cleaned him up and got

211
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 5: rid of all the graffiti, and then we as a

212
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: team in the local community would maintain his area weed

213
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: and plant plants.

214
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,080

217
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 5: great childhood growing up with working in Atlantis. I mean

218
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 5: the place could be packed every weekend, you know, every

219
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 5: car park from down the marina to the to the

220
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 5: huge car park at the back of the shops. But yeah,

Speaker 5: we haven't We haven't traveled far at all.

224
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,720

00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: school holidays.

226
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,360

Speaker 1: All right, so the words spread and Margie went tews.

233
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: Now is it sort of fenced off so people can't

234
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: get to it too easily?

235
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: Oh no, No, he's fully acceptable.

236
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: When we were.

237
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 5: Looking after him, it was under lock and we would

238
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: open the gates on the weekends and do gold cones

239
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 5: the notions which was donated to local community. Yeah, and

240
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: then the developers came through left him in a little

241
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 5: bit of an unsafe state to gain access. But it's

242
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 5: all being secured now and you can still go and

243
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,960

Speaker 1: Go for a drive out there.

248
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: Marsha in Burns Beach. What's your memory of Atlantis?

249
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 7: Okay, So when I was ten, my family moved up

250
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 7: there to Tyrop. Yeah, and it was only about a

251
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 7: year before it closed down. So they had an auction

252
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: to get rid of all the equipment and whatever else

253
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 7: was left there when they closed down. The call. So

254
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 7: my dad went with his best mate to the option

255
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 7: and came home so excited and told them but he

256
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 7: bought all the Roman columns around and he was so

257
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 7: happy because they would ten dollars each dog, and so

258
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, this is iconic. You know, we

259
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 7: can I don't know what idea he had about making

260
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 7: his fancy pigola or something in the backyard. He was

261
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 7: so thrilled that he got these rom column until he yeah,

262
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 7: until he had to go pick them up and realized

263
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 7: that they were solid concrete. Ten of those. I don't

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 7: know how how much to wait, but he had, Yeah,

265
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 7: So we ended up having to pay I think it

266
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 7: was a thousand dollars. Let's yeah, get them to our

267
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 7: house and then plug them in the backyard. Oh, he

268
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 7: had this pile of ten Roman columns in the backyard,

269
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 7: which we were like, okay, what is he going to

270
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 7: do with them? And no one he tried to sell

271
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 7: them off. No one wanted this.

272
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 6: He spent the next five.

273
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 7: Years digging trenches in the backyards and then rolling the

274
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 7: columns if the blank of woods into these pitches. Right,

275
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: so still to his stakes. My mom still lives up there.

276
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 7: We have these ten Roman columns brown.

277
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: It's a tome capsule, it is.

278
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're joking in the future, like in another hundred Still,

279
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 7: why are these Roman columns in the backyard?

280

Speaker 1: We like the pantheronon ancient ros exactly.

281
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,680

Speaker 7: dollars gold.

284
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,840

Speaker 1: Good by. What's your Atlanti's memory?

427
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 10: Uh, A different one for you, But I don't know

428
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 10: if you ever saw the turtle. There was a very

429
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 10: large loggerhead turtle in the sort of the shark tank there. Yeah,

430
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 10: right front slipper half cut off and his back rear

431
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 10: flipper half beaten off as well.

432
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 9: Well.

433
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 10: He used to take about four people to lift him

434
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 10: when he started off the size of an ice cream container,

435
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 10: because we found him on the beach when I was

436
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 10: the tod.

437
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

438
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 10: So my dad built a five glass pool in the backyard,

439
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 10: which we weren't really allowed to swim in because I

440
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 10: had a turtle in it. Back some sharks and a

441
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 10: few different things. So we raised him for about ten

442
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 10: years and only when my parents they didn't know what

443
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 10: to do with him, so we went and released him

444
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 10: down at Munlow Beach one evening and within a week

445
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 10: he had been caught by a fisherman in his net,

446
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 10: and that fisherman was my godparents' son, and he didn't

447
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 10: know what to do with him, so he took him

448
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 10: to Atlantis, and rumour came back through that from my

449
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 10: god godmother said, yeah, we think our son caught your

450
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 10: turtle and took it up to Atlanta. So we went

451
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 10: up there with some photos and things and met doctor

452
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 10: Nick Gaale all things there. He very famous vet. I

453
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 10: think he helped with the transition of the dolphins. He

454
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 10: did Underwater World, and yeah, undoubted proof that this massive

455
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 10: loggerhead turtle was our pet turtle.

456
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what's his name, Roberts.

457
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 10: It was originally October because we found him in October.

458
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 10: That soon got rid of and so I went down

459
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 10: and stood by the glass as a sort of a

460
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 10: fourteen year old after having known him since I was four,

461
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 10: and he just came up to the glass and just

462
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 10: sat there and with his chest up against the big

463
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 10: window for probably half an hour and now they all

464
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 10: came down because they thought something was wrong and they

465
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 10: saw me and my mom.

466
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: And they went, oh, my gosh, connecting.

467
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 10: They said he never he never stopped swimming. They said,

468
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 10: that's the first time he stopped swimming. And he literally didn't.

469
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: Lave until I wow.

470
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 10: My mom took a photo through tears. So I've got

471
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 10: a photo quarry him at home looking at him, and

472
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 10: then another photo ten.
