Help Save The Platypus!

My name is Therese and I’m a Ranger along Darebin Creek.

Last week we heard the sad news that a platypus had been found just above Northland Shopping Centre, along the Darebin Creek that was entangled in litter. It had a rubber band around its neck, packing straps as well as fishing line that prevented it from feeding. This is very sad as we have worked hard to get these rare creatures to return to our urban waterways. They have only been spotted in the creek twice in 10 years! You can help by picking up litter in your school grounds and on your way to school. Litter that goes down the drain is on its way to your local creek. Rubber bands as well as hair ties are one of the worst litter types as they easily wash into the drains in your school and in the street and into our waterways. Platypus become entangled when feeding. Any litter that is round and has a diameter of eight centimetres or more is a hazard to platypus. It is recommended that you cut rubber bands and hair ties or any round litter before disposing of them in the bin.

Other ways you can help? Join a clean-up group such as Darebin Creek Sweepers or a Friends group. Thanks for helping your local wildlife.
