Just guessing this might be the skull of a rakali. Found it during the Umbagong Clean Up day by a Casuarina next to the creek. There are rakali in the creek at Umbagong.

Hi Cedric, 4 molars and the inward projecting 'shelf' on the lower jaw say it is not a rodent but a marsupial. Dental features tell that is a BTP.
