Unlike most of his platypus , Pete doesn’t love the water. Don’t get us wrong, he could swim laps around you or I, it’s just that Pete is a lover of philosophy (or so he claims). Nothing makes Pete happier than lying on a sunny rock pondering the world with his best mate while sipping on a dragonfly rivergum daiquiri. He claims the dragonflies on his 400km west of Byron Bay are to thank for his smooth-as-silk coat, celebrated Australia-wide.
