On our trip back, we decided to take a little detour to the mountains. As you can see, the view from the top was breathtaking, .
We walked a little through the jungle, admiring the variety of plants, gigantic trees and wildlife.
In a mountain river we were impatiently waiting for some wild-living platypus to show up, unfortunately we saw only lazy turtles for the first half hour.
A couple of mosquite-bites later and actually just when we decided to give up, suddenly we saw the treacherous oval-shaped ripples in the water. The information-signs about the indegenous wildlife instructed us that these were made by the distinctive beak of the furry, egg-laying memmal.
AND HERE IT IS: The probably weirdest animal in the southern hemisphere: EL PLATYPUSO
Feeling like good ol' Steve I. back in the days, we continued our journey to the borders of our maps.
Bewunia :)
The water in the Finch-Hatton-Gorge was freezing cold, but crystal clear and rrrrrrefreshing :)
