Platypus Bend

Peaceful Paradise

We stayed 2 nights in Platypus Bend and loved every minute!! It was so tranquil!! The sounds of birds, the wind in the trees and the trickling stream were so relaxing. We had several encounters with the local wildlife. A platypus and the highlight for me was seeing a mother possum carrying her baby on her back. Just beautiful!!! Thank you Allan and Sue for hosting the break we needed! Hopefully, one day we will make it back to your peaceful paradise.

Platypus Bend

Loved our stay! One of the best campsites we’ve ever visited. Beautiful forest with a pretty stream winding its way around and a resident platypus family. Peaceful and you wouldn’t know anyone else exists

Platypus Bend

Really enjoyed our 2 nights camping in a ground tent. Peaceful and plenty of room and we’re lucky to see the platypus on 3 occasions. Communication with host Alan was easy and directions easy to follow. Would definitely recommend
