Platypuses live throughout eastern coastal Australia in the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and the island state of Tasmania. They are found from the cooler sub-alpine areas in the south, such as Victoria and the Tasmanian highlands, north through New South Wales to tropical far north Queensland.
