Mystery Cat Stalking Sydney
New South Wales Premier Nathan Rees says rumours that leopard inhabits in bushland on Sydney's outskirts cannot be dismissed, because the safety of children could be at risk. Talk of panthers or leopards in the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury region has persisted for decades and there are almost 300 claimed sightings of a big cat in the area. While there is still no conclusive proof such an animal roams Sydney's north-western fringes, Mr Rees says the animal cannot be discounted as an urban myth. (LR/WNWCAAB/CL)
