Sorry about that crap above, but after an hour of messing I cannot com to grips with the idiosyncrasies of the program.

You will have to copy and paste into your search engine.

 

By the way - The Conversation isn't a bad site for general news and comment. Free.

Good reading when sitting outside relaxing with a coffee.

In the link you posted you will see a question mark ?.  Anything after that question mark can be deleted.

Change your web browser as the one you are using doesnt provide a direct link.

Opera house nets for catching yabbies have been banned for a number of years in Vic, not sure about the other states. Hoop nets only allowed now, EVEN on private property, other restrictions also.

A couple of years ago I attended a presentation by the Platypus Conservancy, hosted by the Seymour based Whiteheads Creek Landcare group and the Seymour U3A. It was particularly aimed at casual observers reporting sightings of Platypuses in the local area.

Yes Platypuses is the correct plural as it comes from Greek not Latin.

I found the presentation extremely interesting and very informative. A real eye opener for those of us that new only the basics.

I believe that they will do presentations pretty much for any groups that ask.
