In early May, Lori Arthur watched a platypus about 20-25cm long swimming pretty quickly upstream in a direct line for a couple of minutes before losing sight of it when it dived. She said: “It was very exciting to see a platypus in Merri Creek and it’s a really positive sign for the work done to improve the creek corridor.” About three weeks later, Julian Reichl was very surprised to be able to watch a platypus about 30-40 cm long for about 5 minutes. The platypus was feeding its way upstream, first hovering in the current, then ducking under, before reappearing about 10 metres upstream, then repeating this, working its way upstream for about 50 metres.
