Spend the morning in a beautiful riverside bush location discovering what water bugs live in the Garden island Creek area. These Water bugs are a favourite food for a very special animal, the platypus!

Get your hands dirty and meet some of the microfauna and explore your local creek! Bug and Platypus experts will be here to teach children about the local food chain. Learn the tricks and tips to help you catch a glimpse of a platypus. A great morning of discovery and interactive activities aimed at school children and their families to start your school holidays outdoors!

This event is part of our Education Program and is funded by the Department of Premier and Cabinet under the Premier's Fund for Children and Young People.
