We found a platypus at last!!!

The elusive platypus! We had spent hours sitting by rivers in Mt Field and various other locations. We were still, quiet and always looked around dusk but we had no luck. We had been told that Latrobe is the place to see them. We had hope, we were heading to Latrobe! We stopped in Deloraine to have a picnic lunch and a look around on the way. The kids were feeding their crusts to the ducks and swans and right there in the middle of a town, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the ducks & swans was a platypus! We watched him for ages, he wasn't bothered by the ducks and swans at all but they were certainly bothered by him.
