Not only do I have holes in my lawn from a known source, a couple of new ones have sprung up down by one of the bends in ‘our’ creek.
Two possibilities.
One is a wombat but have never seen any around here apart from the odd road kill.
Plus there is no distinctive poo around.
The wombat’s is cube shaped.
The other suspect is a goanna or lace monitor.
But being winter, suspect he/she may be still hibernating.
If it is, it’s a mighty big one.
They reach over 2m (6ft) in length and you have to be just a little bit wary of them when that size.
Generally they look for a tree to run up if confronted but cornered they can attack.
They have very sharp claws and a bite is nasty, not venomous but bacteria laden.
And a swish of that tail can pack a punch.
We’ll be keeping an eye out when down that way which is not too often.
