Hi Mary, When I download the image and zoom in, I can see at least three things that might be a glider or might be leaves. In short I cant see it. The AI (Carbon) says it can see one. I'm unsure how to interpret that. However I think you know the species from other sightings so I will verify this record, based on your verbal description. The only local species of mid-size grey glider is Petaurus notatus, Krefft's Glider (which we formerly called Sugar Glider).

I think this is a MALE Acroceuthes metaxanthana (Tort) which has fluffy white 'shoulders' and on its 'face/head' which can be just glimpsed in this shot. [female is brown with concentric circle markings] See
