Hi @jb2602 I am not aware of NatureMapper policy about supression - so I'll leave the final decision to @MichaelBedingfield about supression. This is a well known individual, which has often appeared in the Canberra Wildlife photography facebook group. Pretty much everyone in the region who is interested in dingoes would know that Gudgenby is the best local site to see them. (I saw eight dingoes there on Sunday and watched a few kangaroo hunts involving five or six of them). The only concern I have heard expressed about revealing location is that if the location is revealed the government will find out where the dingoes are and kill them. That is inapplicable here at least. Dingo control is carried out to the east and south to protect sheep outside the park, but not within the Gudgenby Grassland. The site has been protected from dingo control by the ACT government for decades. I suppose the important question is whether you have a different reason for requesting supression of location?

OOPS sorry @jb2602 . It is @DomCBRGreen who asked for supression, not the photographer. Apologies all.
