I don't know how to differentiate between the possible fur-seal species that could be in this area. New Zealand, Australian, African.

Tursiops truncatus

@Hannah, Also, you might be interested to know that there are hardly any records of platypus near Gundagai in Nature Mapper, so yours will be featured as a significant record, once it is verified.

Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Hi @Hannah , thanks for your trouble. Nature Mapper is meant to be only records VERIFIED BY AN INDEPENDENT MODERATOR, so the idea is that if the photos do not do that on their own, you have to write something that persuades (supposedly skeptical) me that you really did see the thing you think you saw, not a similar species often mistaken for this one (eg water rat) or something else (eg piece of bark bobbing in the current). So please say why you knew you were watching a platypus.
