Humans in wombats' backyard

A young wombat has moved into the internal garden, taking up new burrow-making at the outer edges of its home range, in company with such exotics as a Gingko tree, a very old ornamental Japanese maple, a big old American Crabapple, my favourite native grass, a potted Port Jackson fig and Aloe vera.

The brick wall provides a perfect tree-like buttress to burrow under.
