User's notes

At least two seen, possibly more. Was just becoming dusk so very poor light. These two were definitely hanging around together. These were larger than other small mammals seen, and had a distinct white tip to tail.

Thanks Christine. There are captive long nosed potoroos in the fox-free fenced area called The Sanctuary and also I think maybe in the Koala fenced area called The Forest or something like that.
