Eungella

Our last night before heading to Cairns (our final destination) was spent in an eco-cabin in the Eungella National Park. It was a beautiful mountain facility located next to the Broken River which was home to several Platypus.

In the late afternoon we spotted 3 or 4 Platypus. They were very shy, but one surfaced close enough to take some pictures. They were also much smaller than we had thought, only about 17”-20” in length.

The next morning we saw the sunrise over the valley and stopped at a giant Mango on our 9 hour scenic drive to Cairns.
