Sitting quietly by the waterway you can't help but marvel at the many different creatures that call it home.

Friends of the Hobart Rivulet Platypus held its first waterway cleanup yesterday. Well over 50kg of rubbish was collected from a short section of waterway.

Thanks to @wildcare_tasmania and @cityofhobart for helping get this community group off the ground!

We’ve got some exciting platypus news, but we need your help to bring it to life!

Later this year nationally renowned contemporary artist Jimmy D-V-ate will create a 10m x 3m platypus mural in the heart of the Hobart Rivulet catchment area - in downtown South Hobart.

Aside from being a beautiful piece of art that will enrich our community, the mural will celebrate the presence of platypus in the Hobart Rivulet and serve as a prominent daily reminder of the need to care for our urban waterways.

But we need your help!

We need to raise $4500 to cover the total costs of this project.

To this end we've launched a campaign on the non-for-profit crowdfunding web site chuffed.org.

Does my bill look big in this? Happy hump day! 😀
