Drive 30 kilometres from Finch Hatton to the town of Eungella and be treated to beautiful panoramic vistas of the Pioneer Valley. Drive along the Eungella Dam Road to the area known as Broken River. Begin near the café at the Broken River carpark, opposite a camping ground. The platypus path parallels the river to a viewing platform and is suitable for wheelchairs. The short walk only takes a few minutes and caters to all fitness levels. Other attractions can be spotted in the river including turtles and eels. Another great vantage point is from the pedestrian walkway on the Broken River Bridge itself. Platypus spotting tips: Platypuses are shy so be patient and quiet. Look for air bubbles rising to the surface of the water. Take binoculars for a better view if they surface on the opposite side of the river. Dawn and dusk are the best times of day to see them. As your platypus adventure draws to a close, enjoy a leisurely drive back to Mackay, or stay in Eungella National park and experience a magical evening in the rainforest.
