Best Answer

Platypuses prefer freshwater creeks and rivers in heavily wooded and protected regions of eastern Australia. Platypuses live in bushland as well as tropical, sub-tropical and temperate rainforests. 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.
