Hi @Frecko - this one is not an Antechinus. It looks like Rattus rattus.

Darn indeed. FYI, its the overall size of the animal (an antechinus would be half the size), the shape of the head and mouth (rodents have two large incisors and the mouth tends to be smaller and more at the front of the head), the size of the tail, and in this individual (male) its the shape of the testicles (in Antechinus the testicles are more round and further forward).
