Ned, querying the location you have recorded for this sighting - Wamboin NSW - and altitude of the record at 1531.6m (Wamboin's average altitude 798m). This is a high country species.

Yeah the gps sometimes makes a mistake I'll correct it now. Interesting to know it still has the correct altitude though.
