What is the range of iconic species that have been recorded in our catchments? The Atlas of Living Australiawebsite brings together information about the characteristics and status of different species, and the exact locations across Australia where they have been observed. It is a collaborative project which contains 67 million records. New sightings can be submitted by individuals who log in.
Southern Pygmy Perch
This fish is listed as endangered in NSW and is protected in South Australia. It has been recorded throughout the Fiery Creek, especially in the lower reaches several years ago.
Platypuses have been recorded in the Fiery Creek as recently as in 2010, including in the reach between Streatham and Lake Bolac. They are more common further upstream. Recently there has been a growing call for the need to look after our platypuses.
