Water Rats was an Australian police action/drama show, set on and around Goat Island, in the Sydney Harbour. The show went through the highs and lows of the men and women who worked at the Sydney Water Police. It originally starred Colin Friels and Catherine McClements, who made the show a big hit. By the end of the show in 2001 Steve Bisley, Aaron Pedersen and Dee Smart were the shows main stars.
The muskrat is the largest species in the subfamily Arvicolinae, which includes 142 other species of rodents, mostly voles and lemmings. Muskrats are referred to as  rats  in a general sense because they are medium-sized rodents with an adaptable lifestyle and an omnivorous diet.uskrats spend much of their time in the water and are well suited for their semiaquatic life. They can swim under water for 12 to 17 minutes. Their bodies, like those of seals and whales, are less sensitive to the buildup of carbon dioxide than those of most other mammals.
