Platypus Talk and Spotting session for Riverfest



Learn about one of the world’s most unique creatures, the platypus, at this Platypus Talk and Spotting Session on 11 September.

Discover what makes them so unusual, what they eat, where they live and how you can help protect them and their habitat.

Following the talk there’ll be an opportunity to do a platypus spotting session along the river.

The event takes place at the Mechanics Hall, 3409 Warburton Highway, Warburton, from 5.30pm to 7.15pm.
