Our new Bandicam livestream has launched! The Bandicam is set up in the Parklands Bandicoot Reserve to create greater awareness of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot species with people everywhere. We’ve already spotted one Bandicoot on camera! Check it out at bandicam.com.au

School students + Rotary Club members + @WannonWater + Southern Grampians Shire Council + GHCMA = over 2000 native plants planted on the Grange Burn in Hamilton … before lunchtime!

@DrDMichael Is been good fun Damo!

@EmiliaFuller_ @RossAndRussel Anytime!

@AdamBester @RossAndRussel The boys didn’t believe me that it was live either. Was absolutely stoked!! Thanks for coming on

This is grouse! We've just spotted one. See the stream for yourself 👇​ 3aw.com.au/platycam-lives…

I thought it might have been some pre recorded footage when they said it , but no it was live. Right on time Platy!

So cool to get platypus live whilst doing a live interview with Ross and Russel this morning. PlatyCam got stalled a bit with all the traffic but looks to be good now 👍

Did you see what we saw tonight on the very first night of watching Platycam? YES! A platypus!! #iseeyouplaty #pladdlingthosefeet @DELWP_Vic #ARIscience

Seems someone was out foraging for a snack before bed last night … platycam.com.au The best times to watch to spot a platypus is dawn and dusk (6-8am & pm) but we’ve had reports of a rakali (native water rat) at 10pm & a turtle at 9pm! @DELWP_Vic

Stay tuned for: PLATYCAM! In what we think is the first livestream camera of platypus in their natural habitat, Platycam will stream Hamilton's Grange Burn from May! Read more here: ghcma.vic.gov.au @DELWP_Vic @fernhames #ARIscience @LilyDAmbrosioMP PIC: Peter Menkhorst

@GHCMA Is the scarlet robin the same as the flame robin? Or are they seperate?

The #BitternSummit is on Feb 1-4 in Leeton, NSW. We have some great speakers lined up, covering wetland restoration and management, targeted environmental water delivery, bittern-friendly rice, new research and monitoring methods, plus tours to the Riverina’s best bittern sites.

Great effort GHCMA, NGT and Landcare! Look forwarded to seeing the wetland with more water!
