Wanda Wides the Waves would make a great kids book. Maybe you could resurrect it publish and sell it. Just a thought.

I may never get to see a wombat in it’s natural environment, but I sure enjoyed reading about your experience

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 ...

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.

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!

That was a very entertaining story. Our place is overrun with wallabies so it's very exciting to see a wombat out and about.
