Gday everyone
Ive searched everywhere but other than reports of sightings scattered on the web there doesnt seem to be a book on thylacine encounters, other than a few fictional books.
If Rebbeca and Mike are out there, im sure this would be an excellent project for you to work on, as im sure with most people who read your book on big cats, i found it very informative and also addictive.
In addition to reported sightings it would be ideal to also have a section on the history of the thylacine from first contact, to its supposed demise in 1936.
And also its characteristics, anatomy, etc.
At the moment i am activley searching and setting cams for this animal and i also have a mate doing the same around the loch sport area which seems to be a hotspot.
Its a real pity that all sightings are not catalogued in one data base instead of many different sites on the net, and also very hard to find even though there seems to be hundreds of sightings throughout oz.
I can give you the contact of a friend and her dad who saw one in the dandenongs in the early 90s, i also know of another but know he would never come forward.
cheers

Great idea mate - btw, have you read Paddle's book on the thylacine? Worth a read.

Some info on it here, as well as some other useful info:

thanks fg
i also wondered why we dont seem to have an aussie crypto type show on tv ( unless we do?? i dont have pay tv so excuse me if there is one) like finding bigfoot, animal x, monster quest, etc.
would be great to have an oz based program on all our strange animals.

yeah i was just wondering that we should have our own show about searching for yowies/thylacines and the big cats that roam our country.maybe some researchers on here should take it upon themselves to proposition a tv station to make a series i bet it would be popular.maybe the abc or sbs would be the best options for this.ten/nine/seven just seen to want to put all american garbage on now.singing and cooking shows can go jump in a frozen lake and die.

i know cam from the today show is a very keen supporter of cryptids especially big cats and im sure carl is alos a closet beleiver, maybe if someone could get them onboard and some of the networks resources anything maybe possible.
how about it dean or mike? you have the knowledge, history and database. why not do what the bfro did with finding bigfoot?
