Meet the Muddy Face Wombat - the lesser known cousin of the Common and Hairy Nosed Wombats

There were a lot of freshly dug burrow entrances all around the area on the edge of the trout filled Goodradigbee river running near Brindabella NSW, then I noticed this wombat watching me - it went into it's burrow when I approached, but I waited a moment and it reversed back out of it's burrow and we watched each other for a few minutes.

I was surprised to see one out and about during the day, I think ti is the second time I have been able to see one in the wild up close.
