I was touring East Gippsland (State of Victoria) back in the 70s with my band, and we were billeted one night with a family who had a pet wombat, a little tacker. They get too big to be pets, but as babies they are quite fun. My partner and I were sleeping in joined sleeping bags on a mattress on the ground floor of the A-frame house, and in the middle of the night baby wombat fell down the sta...
