No problem Michael, I have a few more ACT emu observations that I'll upload when I have time. I have seen one with chicks before, but I didn't get a photo or note the date that time.

Thanks David - did you see the chicks at the Cotter Reserve and if so about what year was it?

Yes, they were crossing Paddy's River Road, on the uphill stretch south of the bend (around here https://maps.app.goo.gl/Uu9d7XNq6piuK1uR8).
It was around 2020, I think.
Here's another observation of a single emu crossing the road around there in May 2020, but it wasn't the time I saw the chicks.
