Lartelare
LartelareLartelare was named after a senior Kaurna Woman. We believe Lartelare may have begun entering the Pat around 2003.
Before observing her in the Pat, we would often see her in the Port River. It was wonderful to see Lartelare with her last calf June regularly fishing and travelling up and down the Pat together.
For several years they were often seen in both the Pat and the Port river. The pair would regularly use the boat lock and the sea gates to enter and exit the area.
When June was still young there were a few occasions when Lartelare and June were separated from each other. One was inside the Pat after the gates closed and the other was outside the Pat. Volunteers and residents helped monitor the situation until they were able to join up again.
Lartelare has now passed away, but her calf June continues to often venture in and out of the Pat.
