WOMBAT HAS A POSTCODE!!!
Permalink  

As we travelled between Cootamundra and Young, we came across the little locality of 'Wombat' - no kidding - however the Olympic Highway bypasses it, and as we were bopping along to Gene Pitney, didn't see any signs, so no opportunity to take a photo.

So for all those interested ..... Wombat's postcode is  2587

GO WOMBAT!!!!

He's got a State Park in Victoria too, I have been there, I reckon that must have been where he was born. He also has a family crest, I see it on the side of the road all the time.

 I don't like Geraniums, I only like to eat roots and leaves.

My postcode is now part of my sig, thanks to Pejay.

As a gardener who faught a losing battle with a couple of wombats in the Bega valley.... he was probably just digging his hole in an inconvenient spot. But in so doing, he opened holes in the fence which allowed sheep or wallabies or whatever in to eat the geraniums. Its a long and difficult job trying to argue with wombats, dont try, just appreciate them for the "cute" animals that they are.
Thankfully our Wombat doesnt have such bad habits...do you Wommy?.

 Well, we will have to take Wombies word for that unless proved otherwise, he probably fertilizes gardens he visits looking for roots and leaves, now that can't be all that bad can it?

I've been to that pub years ago - it's a great historic building and a reminder of old glories - there's a war memorial there as well

Oh my gosh!! I cannot believe what a simple thing (very special to Wombat by the sounds of it) has lead to on this thread - glad you liked it Wombat!
