Hard to be sure from this description and photo. But it is not a Bandicoot, Potoroid (not known from that area anyway), Hare, Rabbit, Broad toothed rat, Rattus species, Brush-tailed Possum, any kind of glider nor a juvenile of any kind of ungulate found in Australia. Only two species in the region have part of their tails white and it is not a Rakali. So I agree with David Cunningham that it is a RTPoss.

Trichosurus vulpecula

Unlikely to be a Rakali at that location and the long rear legs don’t match Rakali.
Ringtail Possums can have white tips on their tails, which are not brushy, so that is a possible ID.

It’s not a Melobasis Kimberi. See comment trail.

In lieu of a comprehensive study or guide to the larvae of the nearly 60 species in subfamily Perginae; subfamily level identification is the only valid option.
