20th Anniversary Platypus Survey and Celebration – Sept. 14th 2025

September 30, 2025 by mccgadmin

Thank you again to all the volunteer Platypus Spotters and Supporters for, joining us for the 20th anniversary of the Moggill Creek Catchment Group’s Platypus Survey! The longest running platypus survey!

A huge effort from all involved and I cannot thank you enough for your patience and support!

We had more than 80 volunteers across 53 sites, and 12 platypuses were spotted!

I mentioned that the lower numbers with such a huge survey effort may be because we are coming to the end of breeding season. There may not be as much movement from the males anymore (their job is done) and the females would be in their burrows, hopefully nesting with babies! The babies will emerge early next year!

A big thank you to the Team Leaders – Melanie Venz, Beck Bain, Damien Egan, Sophia Broese van Groenou, Aaron Wiggan, Julia Wharton and Suzy Philip, a massive thank you for helping wrangle such a mammoth effort. To the Moggill Creek Catchment Chair Tracey Read for organising the celebrations and the many people and organisations who supported the event, we really could not have done it without you ALL!!!

Enjoy watching the video for the 20th Anniversary Platypus Survey and Celebration!

Until, next year take care,

Tam.
