Socks – Wambiji (Platypus) by Vanessa Cannon

Platypus are very shy. They like to hide under rocks and can rarely be seen when people are around.  When I was 17 years old, I used to go for a swim with my partner, Laurence, in the Mossman River, at a site called Jabuljabul (Girls/Women). Some mornings, a  platypus was coming out of his hiding place, searching for food. He swam around. When he heard us, he swam back to his hiding place until we were gone.
