Hi @JimL, I just noticed the location is wrong. Could you correct it please. (It is shown well outside the Sanctuary but the presence of the path in the photo gives away the true location).

Hi @DonFletcher. Finally at a computer and logged in - the location that I can see has this right where I saw the Bandicoot - within the Tidbinbilla Koala Sanctuary, to the north of the Koala enclosure across the creek and on a newish asphalt path. The map that I can see with this has the Pin right on the spot (not more that a 6 metre error rate).

Thanks for confirming @JimL and sorry for my error. On the map of all sightings, your sighting is isolated and appears well to the north-west of all the other sightings. I assumed that meant it was misplaced, but it sounds as if the true explanation is that LNB are now found in the Forest Enclosure as well as in the Sanctuary Enclosure.
