Record submitted through Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Platy and Ratty Portal. Observer notes: Observed this animal for approx 30 minutes. Was diving and coming to the surface on a regular basis in fairly fast flowing water. Have a number of other high resolution images taken with a Canon R5 and 800mm lens if they would be of interest.
