User's notes
Counted 3 males & 2 females. Photographed from point along fenceline of TSR paddock (GPS coords decimal degrees -36.113035, 148.912475) on the south side of dam - pics at full extent of camera zoom. GPSed point has been manually adjusted on map to best represent actual location on creek dam. Note CNM satellite imagery at time of entry of this sighting was of largely empty dam due to blown out section of dam wall, however, my sightings are from the since repaired and full dam.
