Reg and I have been enjoying our side trips out from our midyear base here at Flying Fish Point. There are many inland, waterways to explore, lakes, rivers and waterfalls we will visit, over the next couple of months. I especially love the pond plants I see in the top end waterways, the Australian native blue waterlillies in particular and the platypus inhabits the ponds in the mountains of Queensland as it does many of the waterways in the southern parts of Australia. There is a Platypus walk near Millia Millia, in the Atherton Tablelands. The best time to view platypus is at dawn and dusk. Just watch patiently near the water’s edge in places they are known, to inhabit and you will see them come out of the burrows at the edge of the river or pond bank, to feed.
