According to a recent article in The Great Southern Star newspaper, a man reported a possible Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) sighting at the southern tip of Australia. The report came in March from Barrie Murphy, who said he was driving on the north end of Inverloch when it ran across the road. He couldn’t see the head, but he was certain it had the animal’s distinctive markings on its body. “As I drove past it, I saw the stripes down its side and onto its flank,” he said. Murphy tried to get another look, but it was gone. In December of last year another local, Tony Holgate, claimed to have seen one at the southern end of the loch. Murphy said he also knew others who had seen a thylacine in recent years.
