19.01.2022 Last Thursday, Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc hosted a very interesting evening about platypuses (or is it platypii???) . Geoff Williams from the Australian Platypus Conservancy gave a rundown on the key findings from YACTAC's recent platypus report and Dr Joanne Connolly, CSU-Wagga talked about her local research on platypus. Both stressed how important it is to protect and look after our environment to protect the platypuses habitat. #murrumbidgeelandcareinc

08.01.2022 A great walk last Sunday at Flowerdale Lagoon. We saw all sorts of birds, including some not frequently seen at the Lagoon like quails and nesting striated pardalotes. There was a good combined bird knowledge amongst the group members and it was a fun morning. The birds really put on a show for us. There were nesting willie wagtails, duelling honeyeaters, trawling spoonbills and frolicking firetail finches. Stay tuned for details of next month's activity.
