The Murray and Darling Rivers are two quite separate and distinct rivers.

Generally, the platypus is not found in the Murray as much as it used to, due to increased pollution, but there are sightings in the upper reaches. They are believed to still be seen in the Echuca area. There are no platypuses in the lower reaches of the Murray River.

Platypuses are not found as far inland as the Darling River. There are no reported sightings of them in far western New South Wales.
