Background Bombetta was found floating off Cairns on the 28th December 2011. She was underweight and exausted. Bombetta had been recovering at Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre [CTRC]for just over 2 months. Bombetta was named by the Mandubarra elders and weighs 135 kilograms. She was released at Cowley Beach with the Mandubarra people near Innisfail as there were reports there were a number of sea grass beds nearby.
