This sighting comes from a business man from Bridport, Tasmania. Name: Ron Rice and friend of Buck and Joan.On a trip back from Launceston (about 75kms to the west) during c.1995...time: about midnight. Ron was approaching the Ferny Hill Road (where many other sightings have taken place) which is approximately 15 kms from Bridport; Ron viewed a large animal walking slowly across the Bridport highway.
"I knew what I was seeing but still found it difficult to believe. But I knew I was watching a Thylacine walking with stiff gait across the road."
"I slowed down and watched the animal disappear into the scrub on the south side of the river."
Another business man from Launceston (accompanied by a friend who also saw the animal) saw a thylacine at the same spot that same approximate time. We have to clear his story and time to be more accurate. This will be in another sighting.
