It's that time of the year again... The Moggill Creek Catchment Group Annual Platypus Survey, Sunday 12th Sept.

Time: 4:45am - 8:30am followed by a free breakfast

Last year was not a great year for platypus sightings with only 6, but lets see if things have improved without the flooding this year! It's really important for long term monitoring to see if numbers have returned to previous years results (15).

If you would like to register as a volunteer and receive further information, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) before 1st Sept.

These sightings, which are purely incidental and not the result of active surveys, number 51 (2004-Jan 2010). Read more...

Declared weeds occuring in our catchment

Weeds are a major threat to biodiversity and revegetation throughout our district. Some weeds you are required to remove; others are an environmental threat and others again are not known to occur in our district. Some useful tables showing known prevalence of State and Council listed weeds in our district were compiled during the writing of "Our Place in the Country: Managing your acreage property in West Brisbane." (published by PPCG and MCCG in 2009). Read more...
