First time seen but they are incredibly secretive. LinePerrins, many thanks for the sighting. Could you confirm location or correct it please. Map shows it in a median strip, which does not seem to match the photo. cheers

Thank you Don. I had issues with trying to add the location yesterday, but it seems to be ok now .. Just in case its not showing correctly, we were driving towards the Sanctuary, had gone past Rock Valley Homestead, it was on the left side before the road splits in two.
