The Australian Platypus Park at Tarzali Lakes

The Australian Platypus Park at Tarzali Lakes is a privately run spot not far off the Malanda Millaa Millaa Road. It’s a decent place if you want to see platypuses without the usual crowds. The park offers powered and unpowered sites set around a couple of small lakes, with basic facilities including toilets and showers.

Booking is by request, so don’t expect instant confirmation. The access road can be a bit rough in spots, so watch for low-clearance vehicles. It’s quiet and laid back, but don’t come expecting much in the way of entertainment or a fancy setup. It’s more about the wildlife and the peace.
