The name Platypus, was apparently chosen to signify the unique Australian nature of the product and just like the animal, being as good or handy on land (as a string or fine rope) as it was in the water (for catching fish). Throughout the after century Platypus was passed through the family, currently the fourth generation McPherson is involved in running the business.
