Ah! You just dont understand the depths to which womatitiis can take you! In 2 years of fighting a losing battle with a couple of wombats to keep them out of my garden I became quite obsessed! Possessed even! And the rotten mongrels used to leave their "calling card" on top of the rock I'd placed to block the hole in the fence, just to laugh at me!!
Our Wombat, by comparison to those feral freeloading digging wreckers, is a gentleman! (?)

I couldn't've given a second thought to a wombat.

Now I cant get the damn things out of my mind. Every time I see a nice photo, I think of wombat, oops, I mean I think of A wombat, every time I see a hole in the ground, I wonder if its a wombat hole. Weird aye.

Even one of my grandaughters has given me a photo of a wombat. Geez they are cute critters.

Damn wombats..........I almost put one as a wallpaper on my work computer. The girls here at work would be saying "why have you removed a photo of your grandkids and put one of a wombat instead?" They just wouldnt understand.

Cheers

Ross

I know how you feel rosco. I feel the same way. Every second thought seems to contain a wombat. It's getting too much too handle. I wonder if they have a pill for it.

I understand your obsession with Wombats, because you see, I am obsessed with monkeys at the moment. Actually, I've always loved monkeys, even through my frog collection, but now the monkeys have taken over.

Is there such a thing as Monkeyitis? Should I get some Monkeystatin?

 I thought about going to see that one Milo, but it looked a little creepy for me. I've gone back to childhood,,,scary movies give me nightmares.

Anyway, I loved the old ones, so I don't want to corrupt those memories.

When driving across the Nullarbor I find myself looking for wombat warrens. There are many wombats out there.
I've always wanted to know, do wombats bite or scratch in defence? Or do they just leave a pile on a rock?

Chris, take note of how they hold a wombat at wildlife shows or on tv... with its back to the persons body, Their claws are veeeery big and strong for digging. You wouldnt want a wombat (except ours) digging you!
