    Two Queensland saltwater crocodiles have found a new home at an aquarium in Turkey after a 15,000 kilometre journey.
    Rob, five metres long, and three-metre Mrs Rob left Koorana Crocodile Farm in Rockhampton on April 13 and arrived in Istanbul the next day.
    They are set to go to the EMAAR Discovery Center in Istanbul, which is part of the city’s biggest shopping center, the Boulevardi Mall.
    Istanbul’s latest attraction spans three levels of the mall. It is designed to take visitors on a journey through oceans, rivers and jungles, showing them the aquatic life which inhabits such habitats.
