Is this a significant extension of the known distribution of this species? The Atlas of living Australia does not show any recordings on the coastal plain.

I wouldn’t put them there, but I haven’t studied dead animal carcasses so my opinion doesn’t matter

Sorry, it was just a generalist comment on image rather than id:) - willing to be more exact, yes easily seen to be a dragonfly. Yes your opinion does matter.
