Join RiverConnect at the Shepparton Library to learn how to spot a platypus and contribute to citizen science research across Australia.

You’ll never forget your first platypus encounter. It’s a magical moment when this strange and adorable creature emerges from ripples in the water.

Unfortunately our platypus populations are declining and we don't know much about where or how big their numbers are.

Your efforts can help fill the data gap and ensure we know how best to protect our platypus.

 

Note: Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes as event will include a short 5-minute walk over to the river before sunset
