No. Platypuses remain in the same territory throughout their lives. They stay within the same section of riverbank through all seasons, unless drought causes the water levels to drop to such a point where the platypus can no longer find food. This is the only time a platypus will attempt to leave, heading for another water source.

What do platypuses do when they don't have sufficient food and water?

Sometimes, during drought seasons, the water level in a platypus's river or creek will get too low to sustain enough food for the platypus to survive. When this happens, the platypus must move to a new waterway. Platypuses do not move quickly over land, and they can become dehydrated, dying before they reach a new creek or river. Some do survive the move.
