Significant sighting, this close to the ACT where they have been reduced virtually to extinction in the half-century between the 1960s and 2010s.

User's notes

If we had been any other vehicle this one would have been toast. Thankfully it was noticed in time and swiftly relocated to a nearby tree. Spotted near the entrance of Brindabella National park.
