Hi Don, 4 of the 5 photos uploaded are showing the teeth. Is there something specifically you are looking for? I have a few additional photos. Otherwise I can go back and take detailed photos of exactly what you need.

From the teeth this has to be the skull of either Trichosurus vulpecula, T. caninus or T. cunninghami. From the location only the first of those is possible.
