[Paddlewise] Platypus Sunset

Mate, fantastic. I have seen platypus in the nearby training drain, the
mighty Yarra. For a waterway that takes stormwater from roads, and gets a
lot of consumer garbage into it, the Yarra supports a surprising range of
wildlife. I've seen Nankeen night herons, long necked tortoises, darters,
purple swamp hens, azure kingfishers, coots, white-faced herons, king
parrots, and platypus, twice. One of the best things about paddling is the
wildlife.
