The misty blue grey cold Wombat Forest near Daylesford
Wombat Pool, as it is called…I would have loved to have captured this place with more moody lighting, but tried to make the most of the bluebird day here..One of the many tarns and lakes around the Cradle Mountain area ~ Tas. ~ Aus..

I was very lucky to have been able to take this shot as Wombats are not very often seen in their natural habitat during the day. If was a rather overcast day and in the depths of a pine forest west of Sydney.

We were out hiking and this little guy that I’d been hand-raising jumped into the pond after the family dog. I thought he’d sink like a stone, but there he was calmly paddling around. After a few minutes he trotted out and strolled away into the bush.
This is a rescued baby wombat, whose mother was killed by a car. He weighs just 1 kilogram, has only just grown his fur coat, and spends most of the day in his wool pouch sleeping. Whilst in Tasmania, in 1 day I saw 6 dead wombats on the side of the road. I didn’t need to check any of their pouches as two were male and the other 4 were so badly decomposed that no young would have still been alive. I hope someone else who came across them before me checked them. I know that some animal/vehicle collisions can’t be avoided, but I really wish people would slow down and take more care. Some even treat animals on the road as sport and deliberately mow them down. To that I shake my head and really do wonder what the $&&@ is wrong with some people…..
Sunlight colourful autumn leaves and misty fogg make for a moody picture on Lake Daylesford in Victorias central spa springs region. / This image has featured on an high gloss art calendar for Daylesford as well as a coffee table book on Bendigo and district published by BEST SHOTS / Taken on Fuji S2 Pro
the wombat can weigh up to 40 kilograms it is the,largest burrowing mammal in australia its burrow can be 20 meters long yarra rangers N.P
I nearly walked on this little guy at Darby River in Wilson’s Promontory National Park as he was beautifully camouflaged. Apparently because of the sand dunes in this particular part of the park, the wombats have evolved to be white, rather than their usual brown colour. I thought i had stumbled upon a rare albino wombat, but talking to the rangers, they are common in this area.
Whether you’re sitting on your arse watching the cricket or struggling to reach the remote to skip over anything involving Simon O’Donnell, you’ll have a hardly earned thirst for the best cold beer. And the best cold beer is Volumnious Beer…made to quench the thirst of Australia’s biggest binge drinkers. Matter of fact, I’ve got the thirst now….
Whether your designing t-shirts for Redbubble or knocking up some cheap arse web-comic, you’ll have a hardly earned thirst for the best cold beer. And the best cold beer is Voluminous Beer. The more you drink, the more friends you’ll have. Voluminous Beer- for that hardly earned thirst. Matter of fact I’ve got it now….
This little guy was quite happy to have his photo taken, even let me pet him…and he is a wild wombat!!!! / Wombats are Australian marsupials; they are short-legged, muscular quadrupeds, approximately 1 metre (39 in) in length with a very short tail. They are found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas of south-eastern Australia and Tasmania. The name wombat comes from the Eora Aboriginal community who were the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. / Wombats dig extensive burrow systems with rodent like front teeth and powerful claws. Although mainly crepuscular and nocturnal, wombats will also venture out to feed on cool or overcast days. They are not as commonly seen as many animals, but leave ample evidence of their passage, treating fences as a minor inconvenience to be gone through or under and leaving distinctive cubic scat.Their fur colour can vary from a sandy colour to brown, or from grey to black. Each of the species is around 1 m (39 in) in length and weighs between 20 and 35 kg (44 and 77 lb). / Female wombats give birth to a single young in the spring, after a gestation period lasting 26–28 days. They have a well-developed pouch, which the young leave after about 6–7 months. Wombats are weaned after 15 months, and are sexually mature at 18 months of age.
Mother and child, these wombats were seen just doing their thing at a place called Cradle Cirque, up behind Cradle Mountain in the Cradle Mtn Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania. / I particularly like the alpine plant life up there. I invite you to view this image large. / Taken with a Nikon D200. / 1/180 second exposure, f4.8, 60mm How much detail is there in my images? / This image has an example If you like this, you’ll probably like / my other images.
Or I guess it could be Grandpa’s Chair. / Taken on the camera club outing to Wombat. / I liked these two chairs under the window. / I used two filters in PS. Poster Edges & Crosshatch Brush.
Shot across the dam at the wonderful Wombat Hills Cottages one evening as a big storm rolled in and the sun set. Fantastic place to go stay, wonderful hosts, good food, first class accom … just the best.

At the Sydney 2000 Olympics, a lot of time, money ($15 million) and effort was put into creating and prompoting the official Olympic mascots, Olly, Syd & Millie. Unfortunately for the organisers a more dinkum alternative mascot was created, fatso the fat-arsed wombat by local comedians Roy and H.G. on there nightly post games comedy wrap up ‘The Dream’. So taken were the public and athletes by fatso that syd and co’s sales plummeted with fatso even appearing on the medal dais with three gold medal winning athletes. Love the Australian Larrikin sense of humour . This fatso (Vombatus ursinus) was taken near Darby River at Wilsons Prom in the first light of the day.

Mum And Bub wombat out for an afternoon snack in the buttongrass.
I loved this bit of sponge, but it always reminded of a wombat, so I figured I would make one out of it… Like it or lump it… I thought it was funny…
This wombat was digging in the snow for grass, I was able to get really close and it didnt seem to mind me following it around.Taken on Ben Lomond Tasmania.
