Have you ever seen a platypus in the wild?
If you're in beautiful Theodore on the banks of Castle Creek in the early morning or late evening, you may be lucky enough to spot one, as Wildlife Queensland Platypus Watch did recently!
The area is becoming renowned for spotting these awesome monotremes. Just ask a friendly local for information!

After 45 years away, the Star of Taroom returned home on Saturday morning and is now on display at the Taroom Museum in Kelman Street. The incredible Iman artefact has an incredible story, which you can discover for yourself at the Wardingarri Keeping Place. Adorning the walls, you'll find a carpet snake mural, each dot lovingly painted by local Iman artist Susan Cook.
Also on display is the Sacred Turtle (Secret Men's Business), returned to country in the spirit of this year's NAIDOC Week theme of Heal Country.
The Museum holds a vast collection of early Taroom & district memorabilia and opens by request by phoning mobile 0409 663 701.

The @staroftaroom is on its way back to Country, with people from diverse backgrounds walking together to highlight the healing and transformative power of repatriation, not just for individuals and communities, but for entire nations.
All are welcome to walk the final stretch with the Star from the Taroom Racecourse to the Taroom Showgrounds, then join the NAIDOC Day celebrations this Saturday, 24th July.
