Timmy was found in a shed shortly after he hatched, ordinariy he would have found his way down to Lake Alexandrina, but the local turtles are being encrusted by tube worms, due to the worm coming into the lake with the increased salinity. The turtles are being rescued and cleaned off by the local school children and placed into protected ponds where they will be safe. Timmy resides at the Milang Old School House Community Centre, just behind the School at Milang.

Timmy usually streams from the MOSHCC lounge room during business hours Australian Central Standard Time (he needs his private time).
