Plaque about the Turtle Factory (Peron House) on the Rockingham Waterfront Pioneer Rotary Walk in Rockingham, Western Australia. It reads, "Turtle Factory (Peron House) In 1922 William Benstead built a factory, staff quarters and pens for his company 'Chelonia Co Ltd'. The turtles from Port Samson arrived on the "Minderoo" but many were lost in shipment. Tins of turtle soup were made in Rockingham. Unfortunately the cold waters were killing the turtles so Mr Benstead took his failing business to Cossack and warmer waters."
