Not the best of images. The wombat was sighted a long way off across a valley, so the location coordinates have been altered to where the burrow was. The wombat appeared to have some mange on its side and head, but I'm not sure. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.

Hi Tim, Wombat Rescue have a treatment program going on in that vicinity at the moment. I will pass this on to the volunteer managing that. Thanks for reporting it. Ange :-)
