The platypus (Ornithorhynchus Anatinus) was chosen as the NSW emblem because it is found in the creeks and rivers right along eastern Australia, including the sub-alpine regions of New South Wales. New South Wales has a large number of rivers, and the platypus is found in these complex river systems, including the wetlands regions. It was selected as the state faunal emblem in 1971.
