On October 28, Lou was freed in Cape York, a remote peninsula in Far North Queensland by the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.

Lou first came to the attention of the group when he was found caught in fishing nets. His front left flipper and back right needed to be amputated as a result of the trauma.

The endangered turtle has been learning how to use his tail as a rudder ever since, and last week he was given the chance to test it in the ocean.
