Hi Mike, if you and other people keep taking photos like these, of the left and right faces, it will be possible to recognise how many different individuals are being seen in that area. So far there has been only one previous sighting (No 4237036) near this one, a distinctly different individual. Also, there are only five records in the large area west of the Murrumbidgee, and south of the ACT.
