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.
This event is one of the free and low-cost activities as part of the Greater Shepparton City Council’s Activities in the Park program. Over 150 Activities are delivered all throughout Greater Shepparton to encourage our residents and visitors to get out and active in their community.
