I enjoyed this. The mind boggles - a wombat on a yacht! Loved this story from an earlier period of your life Lou. I had a partner once who was a boatie and he was a total pain about sand getting on to his beloved yacht and numerous other things. It was hard yakka sometimes ...
What a delightful Friday evening read! Thank you. I had a similar experience, once bitten by a wallaby on Maria Island. Same thing. How cute! I tried hand feeding the gorgeous little critter - but, of course, it wanted the whole thing and bit my hand so I dropped the lot and it scampered away with the loot to feed in peace. Bloody hurt!
Wanda Wides the Waves would make a great kids book. Maybe you could resurrect it publish and sell it. Just a thought.
Great idea.
I may never get to see a wombat in it’s natural environment, but I sure enjoyed reading about your experience

I’ve sure been there. His greatest angst was the fibreglass being scratched by belt buckles or jean studs - fraught! 😏
I liked learning that a group of wombats is a "wisdom". A great story about a feisty little animal.

Exactly! I feel your pain. 😁
That was a very entertaining story. Our place is overrun with wallabies so it's very exciting to see a wombat out and about.
