In search of Platypus

Our Comanche flight from Bundaberg to Mackay was a pleasant 2 hours at 4500 feet all the while with Jim's RV-7 sitting on our tail. With the aircraft tied down it was off to Eungella ("Land of the clouds") a small township nestled on the edge of the Clarke Range an 80 km drive west of Mackay.

This quaint little place is literally perched on the edge of Eungella National Park considered to be the longest continual stretch of sub-tropical rainforest in Australia. The park is further recognised as the world’s most certain place to see a Platypus in the wild....now to find one of the little critters.

Our quaint accommodation at Eungella...


...and the view


Finding a Platypus is rewarded with patience and announced by a ring of bubbles.
