Scientists could find evidence of platypus in northern Victorian rivers by checking water samples for DNA, in a proposed project being developed for Victoria.
A not-for-profit company is hoping to recruit volunteers and raise money to fund the project designed to find out how prevalent the elusive mammal is in our streams.
There have been sporadic reports of the monotremes in the lower Goulburn, but they appear to be more common in the upper reaches.

Locals in the Western Grampians reported seeing up to a dozen platypuses struggling in one muddy puddle on the Mackenzie River, and the local population of these shy monotremes almost disappeared.
One method to determine the distribution of platypus, is to look for traces of their DNA that have been washed downstream. Here, a member of the research team for EnviroDNA, Lisa Kirkland, draws a sample of water in a syringe. ....
