Warrawee Forest Reserve的点评
点评：I arrived just after sunrise on an overcast September morning and had the place to myself. I spotted a platypus within minutes, just off the car park.
There's a gravel track that runs into the Warrawee reserve as well as a footpath down by the river. I followed along here and saw numerous platypi gliding along and ducking under the water.
One came quite close to the bank and had a good look at me before disappearing beneath the surface. I spent most of the time (two hours) in the area near the water lookout tower and saw a platypus about every five minutes or so. I'm not sure how many I saw- hard to tell individuals, but I would guess maybe two or three?
Listen for splashes or look for a V shape ripple, as their heads break the surface. It's especially obvious when they're going against the current. Looks a bit like a mini crocodile gliding along (but obviously a very different animal!) At one point I also noticed the reeds and bushes along the riverbank moving, as a platypus seemed to be accessing a burrow.
Stay as quiet as possible. At one point even the sound of my shoe moving on some gravel startled a platypus and it abruptly dove under the water.
One final tip- my GPS took me the wrong way and I ended up down a back road on private property. The car park is down the end of Shale Rd. Follow the Mersey River and you can't go wrong.
A fantastic location with abundant bird life too ( huge flock of Yellow-tailed black cockatoos). Highly recommended when in Northern Tasmania.

翻译：我在 9 月的一个阴天早晨日出后到达，并拥有自己的位置。几分钟之内，我就在停车场附近发现了一只鸭嘴兽。
有一条通往 Warrawee 保护区的碎石路，还有一条河边的人行道。我顺着这边走，看到无数的鸭嘴兽在水里滑行、躲避。
一个离岸很近，在消失在水面之前仔细看了我一眼。我大部分时间（两个小时）都在水上了望塔附近的区域度过，大约每五分钟左右就会看到一只鸭嘴兽。我不确定我看到了多少——很难告诉个人，但我猜可能有两三个？
当他们的头冲破水面时，聆听飞溅声或寻找 V 形波纹。当他们逆流而上时，这一点尤其明显。看起来有点像一条滑行的迷你鳄鱼（但显然是一种非常不同的动物！）有一次我还注意到河岸边的芦苇和灌木丛在移动，因为鸭嘴兽似乎正在进入洞穴。
尽可能保持安静。有一次，即使我的鞋子在砾石上移动的声音也惊动了一只鸭嘴兽，它突然潜入水下。
最后一个提示——我的 GPS 带我走错了路，我最终走上了私人财产的一条小路。停车场位于 Shale Rd 的尽头。沿着默西河 (Mersey River) 前行，您不会出错。
一个绝佳的位置，还有丰富的鸟类生活（一大群黄尾黑凤头鹦鹉）。在塔斯马尼亚北部时强烈推荐。
