Another very cold night but woke up to a beautiful sunny morning, no wind, we have had a lot of cold wind.
After breakfast it was a walk along part of the lake checking it out for the canoes, unfortunately by this time tbe wind had come up again quite strong. We decided to go to another lake tomorrow for a paddle, it is in a crater, not very big and should be sheltered.
After lunch we went to the information centre, they told us about a small river close by that we may see platypus, they did say early morning or late afternoon was best.
There is a big tree we went to first, the curtain fig tree, what a tree, not only the size but the amount of roots and the distance they come down to the ground, and then the huge healthy ferns that grown in it.
Then down to the platypus hunt, there is a lookout and also a trail along the river, we went quietly along the trail, and guess what? PLATYPUS!!! yeah they aren't mythological.
We watched for ages, when they caught a worm they would come to the surface and eat it, then back down again.
It was funny when they were in the bank under you it was easy to hear them sucking and searching.
The sun came out, the wind dropped so it was back to camp for a beer after such a great day.
