Unfortunately the quality of the video is exceptionally poor, with today's technology, would have thought it should have been a little better. Certainly not conclusive for ID purpose. Look forward to seeing the other footage they claim to have.
I have met a man in Tasmania who claims to have seen a family of thylacine (including young Cubs/pups) in our central highlands as late as the 90's. Claims to have seen them on many occasions, but has no evidence to support his claim. He owns a large spread of land. He also says he has seen bunyips here in Tasmania, so I take his testimony with a healthy amount of scepticism.
It would be truly amazing, should the thylacine have managed to survive. I certainlly believe it is possible in some of our remote areas, but in the Adelaide hills, not sure that is probable.
Bit like the so called foxes in Tasmania, I suspect a publicity stunt or a way to generate funds from government to keep a search going.
It's enough to keep people looking so that's a good thing, I guess.
I live on the periphery of the Adelaide Hills & I'd be really surprised, astounded, not to mention amazed, if a thylacine in the Hills could escape clear identification. In many parts the Hills are very closely settled (& becoming more so) & bush clearance continues apace in spite of controls. In addition, an increasing population of humans are making ever-increasing intrusions in SUVs, on foot, mountain bikes, horses, trail bikes, gocarts etc., into what little remains of the original bushland. It's quite amazing that none of these, to my knowledge, has reported seeing a thylacine. Then there are the far too frequent wildfires which affect an increasing amount of habitat. It's surprising that no one has seen a thylacine or two bounding away from a fire front.
Yes the location doesn't seem the most likely because I think if they were still on the mainland people would already have seen them and have good photos of them.
I also think that western tasmania is the most likely place for them. Most of South-west Tasmania isn't accessable at all.

Thyalcine? I hope so but I think not.
what i'm wondering is what on earth is the creature in the 1973 footage on the bottom of the link??
I saw this one the other day as well. The location makes it seem less likely to me, unless there were known escapees in the region.
I would be more inclined to believe they still exist in the rugged highlands or west coast of Tassie.

Zosterops, I reckon that's a gambolling dog. However, Ms Woko leans towards a Pokemon Go character - whatever that is!
