Log inAbout Platypus Deck at Broken River
Located just a one-hour drive west of Mackay, Eungella National Park offers one of Australia’s most reliable opportunities to see wild platypus in their natural habitat. Head to the Broken River viewing decks or the overhead bridge at dawn or dusk for the best chance of a sighting. Because these unique monotremes are exceptionally shy, visitors should remain completely still and quiet while watching for the telltale air bubbles that surface when they feed. Beyond wildlife spotting, this vibrant park features 22 kilometres of walking trails alongside local accommodation options and dining spots, including the Platypus Lodge Cafe for a quick bite and educational insights.
