From @ReneeB, senior threatened species ecologist ACT Gov and all round legend: It is a young dusky antechinus - hard to tell from the first shot but the second you can see the classic concave head shape. we dont get A stuartii down here, only A agilis. My guess is a young dusky once again. Note the scientific name change from A. swainsonii to A mimosa for the dusky
