User's notes
saw 2 of the pictured Dragonflies and there were also 2 other smaller blue Dragonflies even faster could not photograph the blue ones.
Sorry about bad photos the sun was on the wrong side and they did not land at all.
They would fly back and forth and when they met they would fly off together very fast but not for long then go off separately, come back and do it again until finally there was only one left going back and forth.

Thanks RodDeb, great to have early season reports. The marbling on the abdomen suggests to me an Australian Emperor. Kind regards, Roy.
