I'm not convinced this isn't Chloris. Chloris truncata will grow into a medium sized tussock if given the opportunity.

Thanks Don I will check the other photos and see if I have one with a tail in it but from memory it was way longer than the body length.

Hi @BlackFlat, thanks for the record. And well done for providing the scale, which is extremely helpful yet done too rarely. No other moderator has commented in the interim, so I will try to close this off.

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'.
Rattus sp.
