Platypus Encounters, Latrobe

Eco-friendly activity

Three brothers almost single-handedly turned an old quarry site into one of the most reliable places in the world to see wild platypus. In fact, the guided tours have never failed to encounter a platypus in Warrawee Reserve, beside the Mersey River. You can go to the reserve for free and enjoy the picnic and barbecue facilities under towering white gums, or book in at the Latrobe Visitor Centre for the guided tour on which you may see the local tawny frogmouths, wombats and possums, as well as the wary monotremes.
