The Billabong Swimmer | Soft Aussie Platypus Doll

Meet Nora, the Billabong Swimmer, a gentle little platypus whose heart belongs to the water. Named after the Aboriginal word Elanora, meaning “home by the water,” Nora drifts through her billabong with soft grace, soaking up sunshine, twirling with tadpoles, and watching the ripples dance around her. Every splash is a moment of magic, and every playtime becomes a peaceful little story.

Designed in Australia and crafted in our signature Rugaroo plush style, Nora is a miniature heirloom platypus doll made for children who love imaginative adventures. With her soft swimmers, rounded bill and calm spirit, she instantly becomes a comforting companion... perfect for our Ocean Road Play Mat, dollhouse-compatible play, small-world invitations, nature-inspired storytelling and bedtime cuddles.

Whether perched in a miniature creek scene, tucked into a dollhouse hammock, or carried along on everyday adventures, Nora brings gentle Aussie warmth to your child’s world. Peaceful, playful, and always right at home wherever the water flows, she’s the sweetest little friend for curious hearts.
