Errrrrr......does that apply to all Wombats confuse......I was talking about those Eastern States Wombats, not our WA Wombat, but then you do have an Eastern States post code.ashamed

For my transgression please feel free to put me in the stocks (or is that put my head down a Wombat hole) and give me fifty lashes of a Wombat's tail hmm cry 

PS:  Love the pic of our Historical Wombat Carta meeting at Golden Ponds!

 Dont know where he hides, but I believe that the only place wombats occour naturally in WA is a little spot just over the SA border.

So if he is in Perth, he must be in captivity, which shouild make us all feel safe.

This is a Kangaroo Valley, NSW wombat, but was like they knew they owned the place.
This one hung around uninvited and rocked the caravan around with his scratching and rubbing half the night.

Was good to see a Wombat enjoying him self though.

Contrary to popular belief wombats can be friendly...... Brian

No, that would be amazing to see.

I was inspired by JRH's av, decided we had to find it, and thought Kalbarri the most beautiful place, as it was in the wildflower season.
