Paddy Platypus has an important role as a volunteer with the SES.
He visits many areas throughout NSW to help other SES volunteers talk to people about being prepared for floods and storms and to hand out SES resources to people.
Paddy can be seen at many SES events including shows and displays and has even appeared on television. You may have met him already in your area.
Paddy has been to almost all of the state so far and has met many local people and even some very famous people. Paddy loves to meet all kinds of people and has many gifts to give out. Things like bookmarks and stickers are a favourite as well as information on floods and storms that help you get prepared for these events.
Paddy gets up to all kinds of mischief which, if you have met him already, you would certainly know about. Things like running off with children's hats is a favourite. Paddy only does this kind of thing to get hugs. Paddy Platypus loves hugs and is a great hugger.
If you see the SES in your local area, look out for Paddy Platypus. He will be more than happy to give you a hug (watch he doesn't take your hat) and hand you some SES resources.
