What animal in Australia has a bill like a duck?

The duck-billed platypus. However, it must be said that the platypus is not actually called a duck-billed platypus at all. Some may consider that the platypus has a bill like a duck, but the term "duck-billed platypus" is a complete misnomer. Its bill does not look like a duck's bill, being flatter and much broader, and made of a totally different substance; nor does it serve the same function as a duck's bill, having very unique properties such as electroreception.
