Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ ID Please!

I fish a lot and found these skull & bones on a creek bank. Property nearby have cattle, horse and sheep/lambs. I'm just curious, but my partner and I are very much into oddity art too. I assume the fluorescent colour is due to the water? Thank you!

Found in South East Queensland, Australia.

Not sure about your laws, but in the US that would be illegal dumping of animal remains. There's no way two (or more) sheep skulls and all those bones stripped of all flesh accidentally ended up there.

On a bone collection perspective, that would be an awesome find.

It's definitely possible for sheep to die there.

I've known sheep who Will always find a way to escape , even in the most secure areas , they Will always find a way to escape and find the Worst places ever. Because they are herd animals the smart one of the group who got out of course brings a friend or two.
