“Highlight was the platypus in the Dew Rivulet”.
While visiting Rathmore you are likely to spy our 6 local wild platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) in the Dew Rivulet, especially from the Platypus Punt. A Platypus is this planet’s most unusual creature. Scientists first thought it to be a hoax with its bill and webbed feet like a duck, tail like a beaver and furry body like an otter. The platypus is a semi-aquatic mammal that lays eggs and is endemic to eastern Australia.
