User's notes

Spotted them in Aug 2014 just up the hill from the upper (western) lookout near the top of Cotter Dam. Have guesstimated location - note what looks like a weather station up the hill just behind them which I could not readily spot on the satellite map. I was told a while back they might have been escapees from Tidbinbilla NR?
