Pet Reservoir

Highlight of the day was platypus spotting. You don’t see much as mostly they are swimming and feeding under water an they do it at dusk. So hopefully you believe from the two poor photos attached. We are staying at a great Airbnb with Rick and Jen in Ridgley about 12 kms south of Burnie. They have a pond with 3 platypuses. So really exciting as I have never seen one in the wild. They also made us a BBQ and salad for a meal this evening.
Also need to give a mention to Nathan, Brianna and Ben at the chapel cafe in Burnie, great coffee and great breakfast that included for Simon custard on brioche. Tomorrow the climb begins.Read more
