@MichaelMulvaney Great! There is scat evidence of them around, particularly near the horse paddocks. I am often out walking at night. I shall try and look for them.

Had a burrow consistent with wombat freshly dug at North Curtin horse paddocks about a year ago. It was near McCulloch street bridge.
