Mama wombat and her baby
About 20 to 50m of the boardwalk, 100m into the Ronny Creek Walk, was this family of Wombats (the father being a bit closer to the boardwalk). One of my favourite memories was lying, sitting or squatting next to these two taking photos and hardly being able to believe how blessed I was to get within less than a metre of these two. The mother was not worried at all, although she did expand her personal space a bit compared to the day before when the baby was in the burrow, which is good because it shows their friendliness wasn't foolishness. Beautiful animals, and believe it or not, they have the most developed brain of all marsupials. After the baby climbed on, the mum hopped out of the ditch and the baby rolled off the back, falling into the ditch. It was cute, hilarious, and made you feel sorry for it at the same time. Common Wombat - Vombatus Ursinus The only 'bare-nosed' wombat species, out of the three species in Australia, is a reasonably common resident (particularly within protected habitat) from just over the QLD-NSW border downwards into Victoria as well as Flinder's Island and Tasmania. It inhabits cool, open forests and grasslands, often in mountainious regions. Breeding is all year round, but the mother will only raise one young in 2 years, assuming it survives. Destruction of habitat and roadkill are the two main threats to wombats, but, especially in some more southerly National Parks, such as Cradle Mountain and Narawntapu in Tasmania, and Wilson's Promontory in Victoria, Wombats are very common, and will allow humans to get within metres of them, due to habituation. Head and Body length: 840mm-1150mm Tail Length (Yes they do have a tail! it's a tiny stumpish thing off they end of their big old rump): 25mm average Weight: 22-39kg Van Dyck, S, R Strahan. 2008.

I love Australia for many reasons. But mostly it’s the wombats. I mean, c’mon. Look at this chubby little fur ball just enjoying the afternoon on a blanket of freshly chewed grass. You …
