Unfortunately platypus numbers appear to be declining due to habitat disruption\, water extraction\, pollution of waterways and illegal capture. \nJoin us on our Surveys in March and April 2019 where we hopefully see some youngsters explore our waterways. \nMake sure to email us on gcplatypus@gmail.com to register and get all the information for our surveys as well as the compulsory induction!
