Used to see lots around Playford on my evening walks as a youngster. Last one I saw was on St George's Street, Ipswich some years ago. Caused a lot of panic, but I gently moved him to Christchurch Park, in a container.
Now haven't seen one of these in years. Majestic creatures. |  | | |

First stag beetle I ever saw was in Castle Hill, Preston Drive pavement east side half way up to be exact. Like you have not seen one for a few years. |  |

That's the larvae that I often find when chain sawing dead trees. They tunnel their way through the core rotting wood. Amazing things which should be emerging as stag beetles about now. | |
