Belmont Stories - 'The Park'

Bedevire Park is on Bedervire Road and you can get to it on a bike path from Belmont State School. When you get there you will find an orange spide web, a rocket ship, swings and the eating area.

One day, Jack, who lives quite close to the park, was climbing the spider web.

He said, "Wow! Look at that."

There was a turtle on his back on the side of the creek and it was waving his legs frantically in the air.

Jack saw his best friend riding his BMX along the bike path. He said, "Look out for the turtle!"

But it was too late. There was a bang, a crash and a splash.

Jack said, "Lachlan. I'll help you!"

As Jack ran down to the creek, he tripped on the turtle. Jack crashed to the ground. The turtle flipped the right way up and waddled down to the creek and saved Lachlan.

Every afternoon from then on, when Jack and Lachlan come down to the park they always go to the creek look out for their friend the turtle.
