Rakali are everywhere I had to explain to my relatives at Christmas that they were native animals not rats as they swam around the harbour in Geelong

Rats, native or not, all fall under the same banner imo....vermin scum.

Have been using opera house traps for a good 30 yrs in private dams and have NEVER caught a platypus. Only ever seen them in flowing water.
