I have seen many wombats and being aggressively growled at at close range, but no attack!

One of the biggest I have ever seen was late one night driving home from Sydney International AP along Hermitage Rd near Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley (NSW).

In a rental car early hours and saw a huge roo beside the road and about five feet from him a monster wombat!

Right alongside "Wombat Crossing" vineyard

No kidding.

Those things are like mobile rocks.

They adore sandstone country. The devastation they can wreak, undermining fences, foundations etc. has to be seen to be believed.

Hope he doesn't brings his friends to the vineyard party John
