Record submitted through Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Platy and Ratty Portal. Observer notes: I observed the platypus from 4pm to 5pm and saw it surface 4 times. Water is very murky due to recent rain. This is the same location that I have observed a platypus in August/ September in 2020 and 2019. Photo credit: robertevans
