Thanks mate. I took the shot while I was camping on the weekend at a place called Coolendel near Nowra in NSW.

It's interesting because I took it using the old Nikon F2 and I'm surpirsed the shot turned out so well. Film photography and I generally don't mix so well...

beautiful. wombats had a good season this year. I saw so many of them on the side of the road to the snow. Last year it was kangaroos.

Sorry I know road kill is a bit insensitive but this is reality.

Love your photo's

I've never seen a wombat before. Are they common in Australia?

They're not uncommon but you certainly won't see them in urban areas. If you wanted to see one you wouldn't have ant trouble finding one in the wild (in the right areas). I think the fuzzy-nosed varierty that they get down south is more rare though.

The northern Hairy-nosed wombat is one of the most endangered species on the planet. It lives in the north and there is one colony with about 70 animals left. The common wombat around Victoria is just as its name suggests (but such a beautiful creature) and I think the South Australian hairy-nosed is not as common. NSW and Vic you would have no problem seeing a wombat in certain places.

Good one Ben . Wombats don't normally make a good study, that looks like a youngster?
Maybe just the winter coat?
