"Australia has many bizarre animals, and the platypus might just top the list. These shy animals are difficult to see in the wild, but if you have the right guide you will be rewarded", wrote Lynn Gunning.
Take a leisurely paddle down the Goulburn River with an experienced guide to spot one of Australia's more unusual residents and stay at Flowerdale Estate Retreat.
This package comprises of a river trip on the Goulburn River offering a unique opportunity to experience platypus. These monotremes (egg laying Mammal) are shy and secretive in their natural environment, though still often seen in their natural habitat during daylight by observant paddlers. Ever alert for signs of danger, they submerge to the safety of their underwater playground, only to re-emerge some 3 or 4 minutes later.
You and your companion will also enjoy the delights of Flowerdale Estate retreat, an historic Australian retreat located on a working Alpaca stud farm. Stay in our beautiful retreat suites with, king or queen size beds, ensuite, air conditioning, television and French doors opening out onto beautiful garden areas.

Feed the most adorable of farm animals, the alpaca.
