@courtneyb I will leave this one to someone more experienced than me, but I hope it's a greater glider! I've seen them up there.

@Csteele4 I'm 99.9% sure it was a greater glider - got a good look with binoculars but sadly my phone photos suck! We spotted about 12 of them on a ~1 km walk along this trail.

@courtneyb That is fantastic!! Good to see more records of them on that side of Tallaganda. We had one fly into another brigade's truck during the Black Summer while I was out firefighting at Black Range, I'll never forget it. Was hoping there was still a good population out there.
