Rattus sp.
Scaling from your 8cm tin, we can eliminate a group of small species (this is not a mouse, Antechinus or Dunnart) and it is clearly not a water rat (Hydromys), which leaves us with four rat-sized species. They are Rattus rattus , Rattus norvegicus, Rattus fuscipes and Mastacomys fuscus. The latter can be eliminated because it is restricted to mountain areas (mostly treeless wet heaths and grasslands at relatively high altitude) and it usually looks longer-furred. We can't see tail length well enough to separate R rattus (introduced Black/Roof/Ship rat) from R fuscipes (native Bush Rat) which leaves the ID as 'Rattus sp'.
