Platypuses do not migrate. They are freshwater animals, and the only time they leave their territory is if the water levels in their immediate habitat become too low to sustain their food source.
Platypuses swim in freshwater ponds, billabongs, rivers and creeks in eastern Australia. They are found in tropical freshwaters of northern Queensland right down to sub-Alpine freshwaters of Tasmania.
Platypuses do not migrate because they do not need to. Three are no Australian mammals that migrate because the climate of the country, though very different in the north and the south, does not reach extremes that require the native wildlife to migrate. The water temperature in the platypus's habitat remains fairly steady all year around, unlike the air temperature. Their burrows, which are very deep, shelter them from cold weather.
Platypuses neither hibernate nor migrate. They are active throughout the year, and they tend to stay by their home pond, creek or river as long as there is sufficient food and water. No Australian native animals migrate (though some are nomadic), and only the mountain pygmy possums of Australia's alpine regions hibernate.

Platypuses spend most of their waking hours swimming and diving for food. They walk on land, and shelter in burrows they dig in riverbanks. They do not migrate, but control their own specific territory.
