Heh, seeing a platypus is rare enough for most people, let alone a pink one.

I used to watch platypuses regularly in Mole Creek. Before moving into the Old House on my parent’s property, I rented the butcher’s old house in the town itself, which had the creek running through the back garden with a little bridge over it, and platypus antics were often observed.
