Blinkey Bill meets Wolf Creek

Imagine if these got into Tassie! We'd really be in for it. We might need another Task Force Lara!

But then according to the Australia Museum, they are already here! Have you seen one?

That distribution map would indicate they are wide spread in Tassie. I'm surprised by the big population in Central Aus. Didn't realise there was that much "closed canopy forest" between Darwin and Adelaide.

Didn't I read another thread recently where they had been sited in the Tyndalls?

No- those are Drop Bogans. They're all over Tasmania.

I've had a lucky escape from one of these on the OT. I was luckily carrying my ice axe and so was able to fend it off. Very scary.

Possums in bushranger masks if you ask me.

Miyata- are you sure that wasn't a hut warden?
