queensland Drones What A Drone.

[Dinodadog]

Went for a walk this morning, boy am I sorry now, my legs are lucky to be able to hold me up, or as the old saying goes, lucky they dont snap off and stick up my ass. Whilst I was catching monster bass, ( well I got one first cast and it was the last ) or trying to I kept getting droned all the time, I dont know if it was the rangers checking on me or just one of the public having fun. I could hear it coming before I could see it, it went very high in the sky and a long way up the dam. A couple of times it went silent and I thought it was going to fall out of the sky. I also had lungfish blowing raspberries at me very close to the bank. As well as being droned I also was getting hit by dragonflies, there would be 2 or 3 in a bunch fighting for the right to have it off and they were not looking where they were going.

Then as I was leaving I ran into a dead fish of some type, is it a mary cod, a carp or a lungfish, I first thought MRC but then the tail looked funny.

Forgot to mention it was about 90 to 100cm long.Might be an eel

I reckon it is a lungie, they have bones in their fins, which is what that looks like.

I agree - but the mouth is not lungfish-like. Eels also have a narrow, longer head. 

The result will be veeeerry interesting. I was out there the other day @Dinodadog and nearly stepped on a huge buck deer which nearly had me putting on a new pair of pants as it erupted from the scrub and shot off. I saw hundreds of pig, deer, and wild dog tracks. Scary to think how close these animals are to the suburbs...

Deer are in Kenmore, Jindalee as well as around the airport. I have heard they are in Minippi Parklands Tingalpa as well so pretty much everywhere.

Yes keen to see what this is.  Not gonna guess.

As Ray said where are the scales, you would think if it was any of the scaled variety there would at least be a few scales, unless it was filleted. Have sent pics off to the scientist.

Just heard from scientist, he seems to think mary cod because of the jaw.

Big old MRC then. You would hope it died of natural causes...
