Our friend, Michael (aka Piglet) and his partner Murray (who is visiting for the week) were down by our creek this afternoon at just the right time. They saw a platypus! Woo hoo! Now, when we first bought Maryville I hoped and hoped and hoped that we would have platypus in the creek but I had given up hope that there were any here. This animal was happily (well I really don't know whether it was happy or not, but one likes to be optimistic) playing in the little rapids that the creek runs through as it passes into the swimming hole. This is fantastic news!
I hope I get to see it in the next few weeks.
