Melbourne Water is holding a special planting day along Diamond Creek to help restore platypus habitat. If you’ve migrated to Australia (recently or a while ago), or are a refugee or asylum seeker, bring your family and come join us.

By taking part, you’ll:

  • help improve platypus habitat
  • enjoy the outdoors
  • meet other people and have some fun!

You might even learn a thing or two about the local platypus of Diamond Creek.

Please note children must have an adult with them.
