Platypus-watching - Bombala
Eco-friendly activity
Bombala River,
Tourism New South Wales
If you believe the hype, Bombala is the platypus capital of Australia and the locals stop just short of guaranteeing you a sighting. The best spot is the Platypus Reserve on the Bombala River (off Delegate Road) in the early morning or late afternoon, but the shy aquatic mammal can be seen at any time of the day in many of the area’s creeks and rivers.
