The location was at Forest 20 National Arboretum Canberra as shown on the map not Yaralumla

‘Yarralumla’ is just an arbitrary name given to the section of map (like a grid) that your sighting fell into. It can seem misleading sometimes.

Hi Andy. Your sighting was near the road which is the boundary. I have enlarged the CNM map of Forest 20 slightly to include the road edge. Now your sighting is within the STEP map, see above.
