Whereas the Jackalope is make believe, the Aussie Drop Bear is real. My dog and I survived an attack, the second time we were out in the Dorrigo Mountains camping, if it was not for the Dorrigo River that we jumped into, we would not have survived, it also ripped our camp apart, and on two other occasions we escaped when on the Gwydir Hwy near Gibraltor Range, I out biked them whilst going up hill with the dog and trailer managed to get to 60km per hour, It has put the fear in me to camp in these areas in the future.
