For the ultimate game of I-Spy, try to spot the elusive platypus who inhabit the banks of Broken River. The viewing platforms are the best way to follow the river and station yourself for platypus viewing at sunset or sunrise. It’s not uncommon to see a number of Australia's most curious natives frolic and feed in these murky waters - best spotted by their bow waves and ripples when they launch from their bank-burrows into the water. Nearby, the Broken River Visitor Information Centre doubles as a gift store to buy all sorts of platypus paraphernalia as well as the spot to get the latest tips on the best vantage points for spotting the shy natives. If you wish to extend your stay, Broken River Mountain Resort offers cabins and restaurant facilities. Broken River bush camp (run by Queensland Parks and Wildlife) provides the perfect launch pads to explore this ancient rainforest and try your hand at platypus spotting another day. It’s also the perfect excuse to stick around for the Platypus Lodge Restaurant and Cafe’s opening hours to try the Swiss Yodel Burger, which comes with a complimentary yodelling demonstration from Oskar, the Austrian owner and chef.
