Platypus Brooch

It wasn't until 1922 that a platypus traveled to America. People didn't think they were real.

Platypus aren't really meant to travel and unfortunately, he didn't live too long in America.

These guys are always my favorite to try and spot out in the wild. You only get the tiniest little glimpse of them before they're bill down back into the water. There is something pretty marvelous about them. If you travel down to the Otways that's you've got a pretty good chance at seeing one at Lake Elizabeth. Let me know how you go with your Platypus spotting!
