    Hi roberter1

    Just to let you know... early this year, for some months, I was not far from you living a few k's out from Braidwood on the Kings Hwy. Nice spot right next to a river.

    On a regular basis l would catch sight of the platypus going about its day... usually late afternoon. Then the fires came through. The river ran dark and the water clearly was toxic. No platypus.

    A couple weeks later, over 2 days, 40 cm's of rain, the river flooding over its banks... thoroughly washed it clean. Some time passed and a few days before l left there's this little blighter coming up for air in the usual way.

    No idea if it was the same one... they do burrow deeply into the sides of the banks... so maybe.

    So if Eck is feeling a bit down you might let him know that they're resilient little buggers.
