Watch this space..... The unexpected feast was not the only surprise in Geeveston. My friend went home the night before, but I still wanted to do the Duck Hole Lake walk and possibly Adamson's Falls, which I had previously encountered but not conquered. Alas, this time I couldn't find the start of the track so I was heading into Geeveston to ask Forestry when I noticed the sign “Platypus Walk.” Nice, I thought, not for a moment expecting to see one. The tiniest bit of sunlight allows the bryophytes and fungi to flourish along the Duck Hole Lake Track Yep, still intrigued by the fungi - interestingly, although most other species increase in diversity towards the equator, the opposite is true of mosses and fungi The platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus , is a most unusual creature. It belongs to an early branch of the mammalian family and its only near relative is the echidna. Not only do platypuses have fur and suckle their young like other mammals...
