wombats

ok so its running off in the opposite direction and not sitting nicely for a picture - but here is the young wombat I disturbed whilst taking pics of Sams Creek. The creek is a favourite home for wombats (and unfortunately many meet there end crossing the highway)... this little fellow actually has its burrow right beside the road - I mean right beside the road - its only 2m from the tar! So far its figured out how to go under the bridge to cross the road...


Most wombat burrows are on the sides of the creek - that's one there... snuggled under the roots of a she-oak.
