What's a Wombat


A pademelon


wombat

We spent yesterday in Narawntapu National Park where we saw tons of pademelons, wallabies and kangaroos and finally saw a couple wombats late in the afternoon. Wombats are large cute bear-like ground hog marsupials. Next we dashed over to Latrobe - the "platypus Capital of the World" and saw a number of platypus's before it got completely dark Never thought I'd see one in the wild! - but there were lots swimming briefly on the surface of a beautiful river.
And the night before we were out til 11 in the freezing wind watching fairy penguins come ashore to feed their chicks.
