Turtle Decorative Metal Garden Stake - Raw Finish

Turtles are as ancient as the dinosaurs, older than snakes and crocodiles. Australia is home to six of the world’s seven species of marine turtle species. Turtles are a favoured food source for Indigenous communities and therefore appear as totems and in Dreamtime stories and Creation myths. Indigenous people respect the food resources that sustain them and they celebrate the turtle in rituals that aim to increase the bounty of the species.  These cold-blooded creatures have an incredibly long life span -the oldest ever recorded, named Tu”i Malila, of Tonga Island, passed away at the grand old age of 188.  Turtles are known for their wisdom, patience, and strength. They are also symbols of good luck, long life, and protection.

This decorative turtle is sure to delight and looks absolutely gorgeous in the garden.  Place this lovely lady in any position of the garden to add good luck and protection.
