Platypus Pool is a secluded natural swimming hole on Canungra Creek within Lamington National Park, Queensland, Australia.

Reaching it is a serious undertaking: the route involves technical rock scrambling, extensive rock-hopping along the creek bed, and stretches of thick off-trail bush-bashing, making it a strenuous adventure suited to confident, experienced hikers.

The pool itself rewards the effort with gorgeous, clear water set among the rocky creek environment.

Water levels along the approach vary significantly with conditions — during dry periods the creek can run low, making rock-hopping more manageable, while after rain the crossings become considerably more challenging and potentially dangerous.
