Presumably a female because the breeding season is August in the south?
I thought it was a Brown Antechinus, which have also been sighted in the ACT, but was told that it was a Dusky. Keen to know what records of Antechinus staff at Tidbinbilla may have. It was inside the predator-free sanctuary enclosure where the Platypus ponds are located.
