It was 2016, Mark Bachmann was stumped.
He and his team of scientists were three years into transforming a huge tract of agricultural land into the wetland it once was, but had no idea how their small, regional, not-for-profit could negotiate the final step: to buy 1,000 acres of commercial blue gum plantation.
That was when he spotted the platypus. I drove out after a big flood to see how our two trial swamps were looking, I d just taken a few steps off the road and saw a black thing moving up along the bank of a deep drain, Mr Bachmann said.

We re talking the sort of experiences that foreign visitors have typically – in better times – spent their life savings on being able to access. The likes of sailing in the Whitsundays, visiting ancient Indigenous rock-art sites, cruising in the Kimberley, wining and dining in our finest locales.
