Brushtail Possum

That noise on the roof at night? It could well be a possum using your roof as a path to and from his favourite eating spots. The mountain is home to both Brushtail and Ringtail possums. If you are not careful, they may well even find a small hole and decide that inside your roof is a dry and comfortable spot, suitable for a home themselves. Some have been known to investigate chimneys for suitable habitation - a sooty possum racing around the lounge room is not a welcome site!

The picture above is actually of a “Coppery Brushtail Possum”.
