Platypus spotting tour in Broken River, Eungella NP

The Eungella National Park is one of the few places where you can spot the unique platypus in the wild. From Mackay we took a morning tour to Broken River.

The tour leaves about 5.30 am and returns around 1 pm so it was quite an early morning! This, or at dusk, is the best time of day to spot the platypus which knows how to hide very well during the day.
