Wombats. That's the review.
I'm not sure how to make this easier for everyone but there are wonderful wombats around the property.
They come right up to the accommodation.
They LOVE eating the chestnuts that fall off the surrounding trees in autumn/winter.
Best times are early evening after dark until about 9pm and then sporadically until about 4am.
There is at least two that visit the property:
- One very big, lovely wom-chonker. Shiny coat with excellent wombooty. This Wombat doesn't easily spook and is happy to come within 5m of people in the search for good grass to eat.
- One small, cute and very timid wombubba. This wee little wom doesn't like interacting with the other wombat and gets spooked by cars that go past on the road. it prefers to hang around the tree line to feel safe.
In the local area, we were able to spot four more along the roads in Mt Toolebewong and paddocks.
They are all excellent.
All of them significantly more marvelous than the lyrebirds and other wildlife present. Sure, watching exquisite birds wander through the under-canopy along with deer is pretty, but they have nothing on the wombies.
Go for the Wombats. The Cottages are fantastic in every way but you'll soon understand you're also paying for the privilege to be around those sweet wombies.
