Max,
I would be interested to know whether you saw a 'pair' or whether it was 2 
males.
While working in Queanbeyan recently I had a day trip to Jindabyne - on the 
return trip one of my colleagues said, watch out for the Ostriches along here. 
And sure enough two distant male ostriches were seen. Apparently they have been 
on this property (and I suspect the same site you saw them) for years. As they 
are two males, not much chance of a self-sustaining population and definitely 
farmed birds (so no tick unfortunately for you).
Cheers,
Peter
