Yeah, use to get a few fallow as a kid, saw a red once or twice. Unfortunately, the farm sold and moved away... Fortunately the womans from Mansfield.
Speaking of the otway panther... one day after school, got a fair distance away from home on the dirtbike and got stuck on a hill, subsequently ran out of fuel. By this time is was getting dark and I was an hours ride away, so burried the bike under some bark and started walking.
Got out of the thick bush and nearer to some farming land a couple hours later, still couldnt see a thing but I could hear footsteps as I walked and when I would stop, they would too. Quietly shitting my 13 year old self thinking I was about to be eaten by a panther - old man partly to blame for this - reckoned he had seen one...
Anyway, got to a bit more of a clearing and the moon was shedding a bit more light, turns out the panther was actually a bunch of cows following me along the fence line. Still had to walk half the night to get home though...
