Family Friendly Platypus Walks

Dates: 

7 January, 11 January

4 February, 8 February

Time:

 4:30pm - 5:15pm

Venue: 

Join "Platypus Guardian" Pete Walsh for an easy walk along the Hobart Rivulet, where you'll discover Pete's platypus-spotting strategies, and with a bit of luck, spot one for yourself. Learn about platypus habitats and behaviour, the challenges they face in the waterway, and what we can do to help protect their environment.

This walk will start at the Cascade Gardens, near the car park, and end on the Rivulet Track near C3.

A Seat at the Table
Beaker Street's pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can't afford to purchase a ticket. Ticket buyers have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger's ticket. You won't know who you've helped, but your donation will go directly to allowing someone else to access this great event. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Need a seat at the table? Just fill out this quick form to request one or two tickets to any event. Your information will never be shared or made public. If we can offer you a seat, we'll notify you by email a week or two out from the event.

More about Beaker Street 

At Beaker Street, we invite people from all walks of life to peer through the lens of science. Here, impossible problems invite ingenious solutions, and uncertainty is a reason to come together — not to take sides. 

Together — through eye-opening conversations, mind-expanding experiences, and maybe even a cold beer — we can uncover our shared reality.

Common ground can be found in the most unexpected of places. See you at Beaker Street, where science brings us together.
