I mean, Cape York is pretty remote, but the thylacine has been extinct on mainland Australia for thousands of years - it got out-competed by dingoes after they arrived on the continent.

Its probably wise to be skeptical then. But when I discover and capture Sasquatch, the first creature I'll go after on my resulting TV show is the Taz -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 08:35 6
- I mean, the thylacine did live there - but it was thousands of years ago, and that area has had people and dingoes living there for a long time. -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 08:52 5

    - Movie recommendation - The Hunter, starring Willem Dafoe. -- nm - Roger More Mar 31, 09:07 3
      - I've actually watched that one. It made me want to go camping there. -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 09:08 2
        
        You should! Parts of it were filmed near Cradle Mountain, which is a beautiful area. Of course other parts were filmed at the top of a mountain - Roger More Mar 31, 09:10 1
        
        The shots depicting the remote country were nothing short of gorgeous -- nm - crash davis Mar 31, 09:11
