User's notes

Sighting info and pictures from Maryke Booth one evening in Aug 2016. She found him in the middle of Johnson Drive, about 8pm, heading east just past intersection of Clift Crescent. Maryke passed him onto ACT Govt Environment section. They autopsied him and identified him as a young male 2-2.5kg and likely very hungry as his stomach was empty. Theory was he was kicked out of home and wandered down to town .
