Eungella National Park.

We've  been camping at Broken River Bush Camp and we have seen platypus every time we've gone to the river.... every time.  From the bridge get a clear view of a large lagoon in the river.  It is, thus, easy to spot concentric ripples in the water, and if we keep looking,  sure enough, we see a platypus.    Parks and Wildlife have done a great job with the bridge, too. They've  included a boardwalk for pedestrians to which they have added soundproofing material.

"how's the serenity!"
By the way "Bush camping" means no power, no water, no flushing toilets.  It's been pretty cold, too.  However there are compensations.  The brilliant night sky, the campfire, the peace and quiet......

While we were at Carnavon Gorge there is a magnificent rock formation called the amphitheatre. It's like a tall cave with no roof.  Incredible acoustics!  We had the place to ourselves so I sang Ave Verum to the spirits.
