love to know more about the sighting and where they could have travelled from. Any ideas folks?

Looks like a scene from The Ord or NT- amazing sight (though they were here in earlier days).

  I had understood they were once found across Western Vic…but I would love to know where these parents flew from….maybe Tower Hill??

They are probably from Serendip, but that’s just a guess. There were up to six adults earlier in summer.
