THE FIRST PUGGLES EXCURSION

A bunch of cool kids and their extended families went on an expedition to see if they could spot some platypuses. First stop was Running Stream, just behind Foxwood Farm Cafe at Running Stream.


Savvy was leading and she wrote this story:


The baby red kangaroo belonged to Glenys who runs the Foxwood Farm Cafe. It's name is Boomer.


After our exploration of Running Stream we went to Cunningham's Creek on the other side of the mountain to see if we could spot any platypus there. Augie is Savvy's older brother and he wrote this story:


Cunningham's Creek flows through Hunter and Frank's place and they have a really cool spot in a tree by the creek which is perfect for platypus spotting. It is now the official Puggles Club Headquarters. Here's what it looks like:


Because it was mid winter, we think that most of the platypuses and their baby puggles were hiding in burrows in the creek bank. We're going to try again in springtime on September the 17th. Stay tuned for more details. Hopefully you'll be able to join us then and help us find a platypus or two!

  3. Well I guess it was OK, just the absence of platypuses spoiled it a bit but it was still very fun especially when Frank swung over the creek on a swing and when I crawled across the fallen tree and then onto a milk crate to get across!
