A Possum mother and Joey


A mother possum and Joey

Brush tail possums carry their offsprings around on their backs this joey I feel sure is coming to the end of mum being its transporter. Yet still it clings on for dear life even to the point of pulling bundles of fur from its mothers back!


We’ve Met before!


We've met before wallabies seem to be very much creatures of habit

I’m no expert when it comes to Tasmanian wild life but thus far in my gaining of knowledge about the animals that we see every night on our walk through the Cataract Gorge I often see the same wallabies pademelons and possums. We stop and observe and many of the wallabies and possums in particular seem to remember us. Often if we stand very still they come very close and have a sniff to just to check us out. It’s a funny thing but it is a very satisfying feeling to recognise and be recognised by an absolutely wild creature.
