G'day @KMcCue , I'm not sure that the GPS location that goes with this picture is correct? The GPS location is showing up as somewhere out near Lake Mungo in Far West NSW, but the picture and your description leads me to believe it's incorrect?
Based on your other sightings from the same day I suspect this sighting belongs in QLD?
