In Bombala, NSW, we finally saw ourselves a platypus. Our caravan park was by the river in town. They only splash about at dusk and dawn, so in the evening we walked the banks until dark with no luck. We looked again in the morning and finally Dad saw one. Mostly we just saw a bit of splashing about and swimming, like an otter. The binoculars confirmed it was a platypus. We felt very lucky. Sorry, we have no photo. A picture of Dad waiting for it to resurface was as close as I got.
