First time in my whole life that I have seen a platypus in the wild. Note: first photo is one of the best in the set, posted as 'cover'; remaining photos are in order as taken; I included some photos of the typical ripple pattern made when the animal submerged, as it was submerging and then coming back up; and have included some of the 'not-so-great' images.
still finding some old pics. Date is correct but the time is approximate.
Pair. Often seen here.
Area is semi rural eucalyptus and Ironbark forest and paddock.

Many pais flying around the farm, wedged tail in flight.
