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 best-known rat species are the black rat (Rattus rattus) and the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). The group is generally known as the Old World rats or true rats, and originated in Asia. Rats are bigger than most Old World mice, which are their relatives, but seldom weigh over 500 grams (1.1 lb) in the wild.
