Keen followers will recall that a few weeks ago I posted about the wombat gate I had just built. I finally got a wildlife camera so I can see if anyone is actually using it. And they are!

Wombat goes in and then a couple of hours later goes out. Super excited.

Wombat goes through wombat gate. Then goes back later.

That guilty look, when you're caught stealing all the wombats.

Did a sneaky run to Dove Lake after finding a wombat at the visitors centre.

A robust wombat on a field of moss which it was happily munching on.

Some light vandalism at Cradle Mountain's Wombat Pool. I was a little impressed, every single sign listing it that I passed was similarly edited, including some quite a distance away! (And again I forgot searching only really works on hashtags so let's edit a couple in and hope nothing breaks - )
