At Eungella's Broken River, which shy animal can you spot from viewing platforms?

Answer: Platypus

Look for platypus, eels and turtles from the Broken River platforms in Eungella National Park.

Broken River info centre: 9am–3:30pm, Fri–Sun

Eungella's rainforest has been cut off for about 30,000 years, so some species live nowhere else, like the Eungella tinkerfrog. Go spotlighting at night for gliders and possums.
