seeing a little bit of real wild life - platypus in eungella
Now today it was time again to go further south. On a little detour into the Hinterland near Mackay we
wanted to spot some wild platypus and we really succeeded. After setting up our camp and having dinner we went
to Broken River. The best time to watch these little animals, who you really cannot classify, is during
dusk or darkness. At the river slowly more and more people assembled and at sometime we spotted the first
playtypus as well. You can even follow their trace pretty easy as they have to breathe and so have to surface
to breathe. Underwater they exhale and you can see the air bubbles on the surface. Still it is not easy to
take pictures of them.
