the Australian Conservation Foundation wants to get a better idea of just how many are out there – and as part of the Platy-Project, they’re asking for your help!

I don’t imagine there are many. I’ve never seen one in the wild
No doubt they are rare in Bris waterways but they are very hard to spot, even when you know where and how to look for them.
I was taken by a friend to a spot in the blue mountains where they knew there was a pair. We sat in silence by the creek for a couple of hours before we saw them and that was for less than 20 seconds.
I’ve been out looking a couple of times in spots where I’ve heard they were to be found, but I’ve never had any luck.
Maybe one day
I saw one once but it was in a botanical gardens in Tasmania and I had to look very closely.
