hello all, I have joined your site just now, because I have rescued a tortoise from a busy suburban street and I am not sure what to do with it! I am located in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
From what I've been able to learn in the past hour or so it is most likely a wild one displaced by recent storms. A local animal welfare organization suggested releasing it at a local golf course, but was unable to get much satisfaction from them.
Something that occurred to me was that it may be happy to live in the lake at Monash Uni which is very convenient. Perhaps there is a local (to me) member with some suggestions?
