Hi Chris,

Hi Yolandi /Toitjie1, The record says 16:21 yesterday (13 June), between the Bicentennial Trail and Athllon drive, opposite the intersection with Anketell St. He has reported it to a wombat mange person

Hi Don
I dont know if I'm missing it but I couldnt see the timestamp of the record. Thank you for confirming that. This is most likely the wombat from the other record that we're looking after too but good to know either way :)

kind regards

Hi again Yolandi, Odd! Then maybe I can see it because I am a moderator. Below the map, do you not see this?

Hi Yolandi, the animal was close to the old Tuggeranong stone wall, just across Athllon dr from the Tuggeranong pool.

Hi Don

As I suspected I was staring at my eyelids :) I can see the timestamp now. Was just in small text but found it

thank you Chris, we're keeping an eye on that one but he keeps crossing the road but at least his mange is being treated (if you do see one again could you try to see if there is a blue mark on the back/bum area? That would indicate recent medicine applied)
