User's notes
Five (possibly six) juvenile emus on the hairpin turn on Paddy’s River Road. Three or four feeding beside the road, two walking down the road. I pulled over and encouraged them off the road and down the grass verge. Viewed them again around 2:45pm, beside the picnic area gazebo at Murray’s Corner.
