Yungaburra Platypus Viewing Platform

Nice easy spot. Parking right next to it. But also the main road right next to it. Seems like a good spot for platypus but none were evident and I'm not surprised due to the traffic noise. Not exactly a beautiful nature retreat, but good platypus info sign and a wooden barricade to keep quiet and hidden behind in case anything ever did show up. In short good design next to appropriate water but set in the wrong place.

Always a great place to visit to see the platypus. If you don’t find any at the viewing platform, go over the bridge, down the path on the left and under the bridge and follow the stream round (it was a little muddy when we went due to the wet weather we’d had) we saw a turtle and a platypus was putting on a really good show for us. Walked all the way round to the volunteers hut and got to see a possum in the trees. There is apparently a tree kangaroo there but we didn’t see it

Second time here and we got to see the cute little platypus. Easy to navigate

Yungaburra is the best kept secret and iconic Far Queensland Heritage Village. Nestled in the cool Atherton Tablelands you'll find this little viewing platform. Relax and have patience and you'll see these little guys.

Great facility for seeing platypus .. but we didn't see any .. tribes of uncontrolled kids frightened them off
