User's notes
i think this was my first sighting of a platypus. No photo. A couple of breaking water with splashing and flashes of creamy orange white. Once sideways up to the edge of the water and then away. Two lots of bubbles preceeded one rise, and the rest of the activity was where the water met the bank which was hidden by long grass on the top. I stood for 15 minutes but further bubbles did not bring it back out to where I could get a shot. Maybe next time. Got photo of bubbles!
