Takarakka and platypuss hunting
November 25, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
The alarm was set for 5, but I was awake before that. We dressed to protect ourselves against mosquitoes 🦟 as we would be down next to the river watching platypuses, or so we hoped.

We sat and waited and walked up and down the bank. We were entertained by wallabies and kangaroos, but not platypus. Some told us that their friend had seen them just before 5 the other day. Tomorrow will have to be earlier.Read more
Traveler They must surely have frightened the platypi away??!

Andy n Bunny Briggs This took place after we’d spent a long time sitting and waiting. Ir almost made getting up so early worth while.
