Still quite a lot of washed up plastic bags.
Creek water quite clear with a good flow for this time of year.
A lot of scouring of the banks from recent rainfall.Platypus found and photographed upstream. Guessing its a young male from the Yarra River, that has swum up the Darebin Creek looking for suitable habitat / burrows
