No rain. A little warmer this morning. Scattered cloud with cold gusty wind which couldn’t make up it’s mind which way to blow from. Wished I had worn my jumper. Track remains dry.
Saw a Platypus close under the bank between the Memorial Bench and Snodgrass’s Pool. It entertained Thomas and I for a few minutes before heading for the far bank. Another Platypus was feeding on the opposite bank at Platypus Bend and ignoring the resident dog’s barking. He wasn’t interested in visiting us. Nothing else was seen along the length of the walk and even tourists were thin on the ground. A large mixed flock of Magpie Geese and Plumed Whistling-ducks were seen across the paddock behind the Car Park.
Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus
