PlatypusWatch 2025 – Volunteer Survey Callout!
Help us spot one of Australia’s most mysterious mammals—before breakfast.
Join us for our annual PlatypusWatch survey, where we rise with the sun & scan the creeks for ripples, bubbles & maybe even a bill
Key Dates:
Induction Night with Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD
Wednesday 26 August
6:00–7:00pm

We’ll assign you a site, pair you with a team & send you out to quietly observe. Bring warm socks, sharp eyes & a sense of adventure
Post-Survey Morning Tea
Because nothing says “wildlife warrior” like a hot cuppa and a biscuit after creek patrol
