24.01.2022 Super excited to see how these fish grow and if we can introduce them into our local creeks. This is part of the work we are doing cleaning and revegetating the local streams with a long term view of providing platypus habitat locally. Thanks to St. Francis of the Fields Primary School, Strathfieldsaye for working with us on this project. Looking forward to seeing all the learning you do with your students.

24.01.2022 Check this out! What an amazing find in our local area. Continuing on with our recent interest in orchids and our support of Julie Radford’s fantastic work we thought this might be of interest to the wider community So far Julie’s Go Fund Me campaign has raised $1,000 since we pledged to match dollar for dollar any donations made up until the end of October. With a couple of weeks to go would be great to raise an extra $2,000 so a donation from SDCE can reach the overall targ...et of $15,000! Julie’s Go Fund Me page can be found at https://gf.me/u/yszckn)
