When I was a lil' younger, I was down by the beginnings of Coomera river, out back of Goannabah, which is in the Gold Coast hinterland.

Kind of down at the foot of Tamborine, near Cunungra.

Anyway, was messing about in the creek/river (it was only barely over ankle deep where I was) doing what young kids do, and something I did pretty much every day, having a jolly old time when I got this rather strange feeling of being watched.

I was on the opposite side of the river to our property when I noticed prints in the mud on the bank.

They were very large, much much bigger than any domestic cat or even large dog.

That pretty much brought my frolicking in the river to a rapid end as I bolted towards the house, a good 500+ meters back up the property.

I never went down there alone again after that. I don't care what anyone says, there's something out there, I've seen the footprints and I've seen the video's others have taken, and thats all I need to conclude that its all kinds of nieve to throw caution to the wind.

Thank me by spelling correctly mate ;)

I just want to thank you all for saying i'm not nuts. I believe all your story's, do believe it's a cat of some sort leopard type I'd say and yes, I didn't think this many people have seen them

And don't get me started on the grammar... :rolleyes:

Plenty of time to waste on a forum looking at cats but not enough to get your basic english skills right? *bangs head against the wall* This country has failed its children in education :(
 
Well I definatly believe that its real because I know that I have seen it with my own eyes, I could be crazy but who knows??

Haha Mayhem Ive refrained from saying anything about spelling and grammar this whole thread...If you can put so much research into cats cant you spend some time on english skills?

Me fail english? Thats unpossible lol

hahahah I'm sorry to drag this thread off topic everyone, but its driving a lot of people nuts. This forum as a whole has to have without question, some of the worst spelling and grammar of any on the world wide web today. Seriously, its to the point where the admins should start considering easing up on the swear filters and setting one up to help educate the uneducated by blanking out poor spelling in the same fashion.
 
Well im sorry,i will get it better next time.Lol and yer i would rather waste time looking at cats then making sure all my english and grammer is right im not going for the nobel prize lol,and i wasnt starting a argument .Im just saying
 
I was fox hunting on a proptery that backs on to Tallarook state forest (20 kms from Puckapunal army base) about 5 years ago.
I saw a big cat walking down the hill about 80 meters away from me and put it in the cross hairs. It was huge, about the size of a German Shepard.
I have no doubt it was a puma, it stopped and looked streight at me for at least 10 seconds.
I couldnt bring myself to pull the trigger.
Then it continued to walk down the hill and disappear into the blackberry bushes at the bottom.

4 weeks later, my Father and Brother went fishing on the same proptery and swear that saw a big black cat (I hadnt told them about my sighting before they had theirs).
 
I was stalked by a large pussy once...quite frightening :)

That's funny...I heard you WERE a large....oh nevermind :lol:

Don't know about panthers but the size of some of the feral cats we see around here is pretty scary. I guess you never know what could have been let loose from a dodgy zoo....but I'd not think it likely.
 
Well you never know what gets relased by a zoo, apparently at "Dundee Park" there was a flood in the salt water crock pit and relased 40 salties into the wild so it could be possible!!
 
Once again I am with Mattsnake here, I have seen one of these myself, the size and girth of this animal could not have been an overgrown feral cat and as far as I know, i'm not crazy :). All to their own though... One of my friends brothers stayed very close to where I saw the animal, and he claims to have heard growling and rustling in the bushes near his camp. That night he slept snug with a Shotgun.

well im 100% sure that there here on my property i just cant find them but then again i havnt been looking i hope i see 1 tho
 
My boyfriend's mum reckons she found a huge cat carcass near victor harbour (sa) but she doesn't own a camera... so who knows? Although this is probably not very reliable.. she is known to smoke up a bit lol.
 
I haven't had time to read the other posts, but here is what I understand. The few people who in several areas of Victoria and NSW (Dividing Range), who are strangers to one another, have reported seeing the very same type of animal, which is described as a black leopard or panther. These people know what a large domestic cat looks like (um who doesn't) and consistently deny they have seen a large domestic cat. These people from what I could determine were not alarmists, but were intelligent and their conclusions were well considered, and were only concerned for their children and safety after seeing such an imposing predator. They were more concerned with getting on with life and hoping it/ they were caught than proving anything. Then there is the footage that was captured by a member of the public and confirmed by authorities to be a black leopard.
