The cute wombat perhaps producing square pellets?

Wombats mark their territory with their scat. They produce large square pellets that won't roll and they arrange to poop on top of rocks or other prominent places. We became experts in wombat poop after listening to 'Ranger Tom' yesterday and today we were able to identify lots of wombat territory.
We were at another national park where we took another amazing hike - this time around an alpine lake. We finally got good photos of an echidna and late in the day we did find the wombat.
Tomorrow we leave for Melbourne and we will be very sorry to be leaving Tasmania.
