G'Day Fella's,
Thanks for sharing Ripp.
You just never know ..........
There is so much remote wilderness bush down in Tassie, there could be Tigers happily living and breeding down there. Fingers Crossed they are still with us.
D'oh!

There have been rumours they still exist for years. And the Parks department have kept them a secret.
Probably some exist and possibly are expanding in population. One hopes so at least.

I reckon the chances of finding a Tassie Tiger are only slightly better than the chances of someone finding big foot riding his wooly mamoth home from the pub, while knocking back a Cascade beer.

I hadn't heard of reliable sighting for year so just googled it and there have also been some claimed sighting from Far North QLD and the Barrington Tops in NSW while maybe unlikely these remote areas may still harbor some as it was only a few years back the discovered the Wollemi Pines just North west of Sydney- if huge bloody pine trees can go unnoticed for years why not a few Thylacine ?

How many people see Quolls? Not many but there are lots around. One university even did a study on the Wattagans near Newcastle, NSW, into Quolls and they found some. Locals said yeah, we know, they steal our chickens!
I have seen a total of one in the wild. So something like the Thylacine would be very elusive. Like trying to fin d a dead Mountain Lion in the USA. Unless you just killed it!

That would be an impossibility. None of them drink Cascade beer they all drink Bundy Rum, see them every Saturday night. It's the Wooly's drinking the Cascade.

I've never seen a lyrebird. Or a bilby. Never seen a Tassie Devil in the wild. Have only seen one platypus in the wild.

I’ve seen loads of Lyrebirds. In the Pine Forrest’s of the Barrington Tops they are endemic.
Saw two in December, one whilst walking on an overgrown bush track on a hot day at work, one driving home in the Bylong Valley Way. Both males.
Never a Bilby. Platypus in the Hunter And Manning Valleys. Have seen a black Leopard mid morning in Borneo and normal phase in mid morning in front of us in Tanzania, after we had looked over the top of it at a buff about 30m away for a few minutes. Put the wind up me, he was about 15m away in some straw colored grass.
My wife and son saw something they think was a Thylacine run across the road in front of them one morning in the Upper Hunter. You never know.
