User's notes

In the Murrumbidgee River at the junction with Tuggeranong Creek. Apparently a regular place for these animals to visit for water.

To my eyes, deer footprints (Sambar and Fallow) overlap with pigs. It seem both can be sharply pointed or blunter. But the spacing between the footprints is greater with long legged deer.

Hi Don
I did see the deer briefly in the nearby shrubbery. They disappeared very quickly and they are so hard to photograph. Last year there was culling of the deer in the Bullen Range just to the north of here, and a part of the reserve was closed.
