Final set of wombat photos!
There were two wombats sometimes chasing each other as they would chew on blades of grass. We spent maybe 30 or 40 minutes standing there, watching them.

Everyone seems to love the wombats from Cradle Mountain eating the grass! These were all taken on the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens, handheld. We also spotted a number of Native Hens called Turbo Chooks with their bright red eyes.

Wombats are rightfully very popular on mastodon. #WombatsOfMastodon

🚨 GIANT WOMBAT ALERT! 🚨

(okay, not a true wombat, but still)

"This marsupial bore more than a passing resemblance to a giant beaver crossed with a modern hairy-nosed wombat."
