TURTLE TALK - November 2017
The monthly info and update from Australia's only Gay & Lesbian beach resort

Your own piece of LGBTI , Adults Only, Paradise in 
Far North Queensland   


YES WINS....

Turtle Talk is a little bit late this month as we waited in anticipation for the result announcement of the postal survey vote on Marriage Equality in Australia and then took some time to celebrate this amazing success with the rest of the country!! And what a sensational outcome....
With 62% of Australian's in favor of changes to the marriage act, now we wait for the Australian Government to do their job and get this over the line. All of us here at Turtle Cove Beach Resort are thrilled with the result and eagerly await the start of same sex weddings in Far North Queensland. Congratulations to everyone around Australia who campaigned, educated and showed their support to equality for all and we're sure its only a short while before our loving community can finally wed the ones we love, legal and official. So.... who's ready for a beach-side wedding!!!!
BOOK NOW FOR 2018 !!

BEACHSIDE HALLOWEEN, FULL MOON PARTY

This year Turtle Cove combined  Halloween, Melbourne Cup Long Weekend and the November Full Moon into one big weekend of fun and everyone seemed to have a sensational time. Costumes came out after dark, the moon appeared with a perfect clear sky over the coral sea and one lucky guest scored themselves a free night's accommodation for their next visit.
The Melbourne Cup Sweep was a hit with bubbles flowing over lunch and one guest taking out both 2nd and 3rd place winnings. A great weekend to kick off a busy November at Turtle Cove Beach Resort.

MARDI GRAS 2018... PRE & POST

Whether you're escaping it, recovering from it, continuing it or just tagging along for the ride, Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras season is always a big deal at Turtle Cove. The week leading up to the big Parade & Party down south, local and international visitors are checking into Australia's only LGBTI Resort. 
Over the actual Mardi Gras weekend the beach and starry night can be something completely different to the lights and colour in Sydney. But by Monday we're starting to welcome the stream of glitter-clad post MG celebrators and things can get a little colourful in Far North Queensland. 

Make sure you're part of the Pre Mardi Gras and Post Mardi Gras fun at Turtle Cove with bookings now open for accommodation from 23 February 2018.


NUDE IN PUBLIC.. OR PRIVATE?

Have you booked your holidays for next May yet? 

With Nude Week 2018 taking place at Turtle Cove Resort from Friday 4 to Friday 11 May we've already seen an increase in bookings  for this popular annual men's event. Be sure to grab those cheap airfares by booking 6 months out, and jump onto the Turtle Cove website to reserve your room. 

 

The Beachfront Suites always fill first, as the advantage of your own private beach deck to watch the action up close is a clever way to enjoy absent tan lines! More details on the Nude Week activities to be announced, but be sure you don't miss out by booking early. Let's hope this time the Butt Naked Bingo isn't thrown into candlelight chaos, or the Nude Yoga doesn't result in ant bites in awkward places! There's sure to be plenty of Nude Man action all week!
