Bill, Terry, you travel this road regularly. The body was on the southern side of the highway on its verge near that area of wetland east of Gatton and close to the base of the traffic monitoring camera.

Photo kindly sent to me by Daniel Rumsey and shared on iNaturalist with permission. This photo was sent to Dan by a tourist who accidentally ran over the animal. I have personally contacted the station owners to look for the deceased animal to collect it for the Australian Museum.
