SUMMARY:ACF Sydney online screening of 'Corals' Last Stand' film
DESCRIPTION:As you are probably aware\, the new federal Environment Minister\, Murray Watt\, has recently approved an extension of the Woodside gas production facility near Karratha in Western Australia for 40 years\, until 2070. This is an appalling decision but our attention now needs to turn to stopping Woodside’s proposal to drill for gas in the Browse Basin near Scott Reef. If we can do that\, we will significantly reduce the supply of gas to the Karratha facility. \nScott Reef is a truly magical place\, home to a wide variety of marine life including pygmy blue whales and green turtles.  And it will be under serious threat if drilling at Browse Basin goes ahead. Corals’ Last Stand is a beautiful film about Scott Reef and how important it is that it be protected. \nACF AWR\, ACF GWS and other groups are hoping that the film will help build a movement in the communities of Greater Western Sydney\, and in other places across Australia\, in support of effective nature protection and an end to approving new and expanded fossil fuel projects. \nOn Monday 28 July at 7.30pm\, ACF Greater Western Sydney Community Group is hosting an online screening of the film Corals’ Last Stand.  ACF AWR and other groups will also be participating in this screening. We hope you will be able to join us for this wonderful film. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Platy-Project Field Event 6 September 2025\, 4 - 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had that magical moment of spotting a platypus in the wild? \nJoin us at this event to learn where to look for\, and how spot\, platypus in the wild for this great #CitizenScience project\, a partnership with great ACF\, UNSW\, Centre for Ecosystem Science\, and Platypus Conservation Initiative. \nACF-AWR is excited to be hosting events again in 2025 for the wonderful citizen science platy-project. \nThis is our first field event and the first of our field events for this year.  Our second field event is scheduled for 13 September\, 4 – 6 pm. \nJoin us and help researchers understand more about this elusive animal and how we can better protect it. \nWhen: 6 September\, 4 – 6 pm \nWhere: Willow Park\, Car Park\, Pearce Street\, Wodonga\, VIC. \nWhat we’ll be doing: \n\nWe’ll talk through the best ways to spot a platypus and how to not get tricked by other creatures;\nWe’ll practise our platy spotting skills with a walk around the creek to identify the best platy spotting habitat; and\nWe’ll also net and look at the water bugs to see what platypus food is in the area.\n\nYou may want to then invest time to watch and wait for a platypus to reveal itself at the end of the event.  We’ve been watching platypus in the area recently. \nWe can’t promise you will see a platypus\, but you’ll be well equipped to keep looking for platypus at your nearest river or creek to help researchers understand more about this incredible creature and help prevent further declines in their numbers. \nJoin us at our upcoming platy-project event!   \nRSVP as soon as possible so you don’t miss out.  Places are limited to ensure the event is safe and the best experience for all of us. \nImage: Young platypus on a log in McMahons Creek\, Yarra Ranges\, Victoria.
