We had visitors from Japan who came specifically to see the Duckbill Platypus and I must say they were not disappointed. They visited the forest at dawn on several occasions and were extremely happy to report that they had spotted several Platypus ducking and diving in the Mersey River

The maps available online show that you can drive right up to the 'platypus pond' - this not not so. The road is closed and it is a 10 to 15 minute walk. We went in Jan 2019 and the pond had no water in it. Your best bet is to bring your walking shoes and walk the track along the river, it starts as soon as you pass through the gate to your right. Walk slowly along the river you may see a platypus. We didn't because it was too late in the day (11am).

Probably ur best chance to look for wild platypus, there a a small walk on bitumen road to the pond, yet we could not see any -around 3pm- best is early early in the morning, tours are at 6am, else if ur really looking for some, try platypus house at beauty point which is approx an hour driving east,
