    Mostly I see very fat, very healthy looking fruit-snatching possums.
    Blue tongue lizards. We had a lovely one in the back garden but I think he escaped next door when they put the new fence up which is good because my little dog had started to harrass it
    A koala wandering around my front garden.
    Lots of birds - we have some big trees in the area - magpies, lorikeets, little nectar-eating things with yellow cheeks (hmm, not much of a birdwatcher am i?)
    Every so often we get a Mumma and Papa duck taking a string of fluffy little duckling for a family outing up the street. Very cute.
    There are snakes and rats in this burb but we've never seen them.
    Oh, and we get owls that sound like dogs (barking owls?) and I think we also have a boobook from time to time.

    I love duck families!
    Koalas - we had a mama and baby coming through every couple of months, until only the baby started coming through. The horses are used to it hanging over them in the yard, and the koala is even used to our dogs at the base of the tree, waiting for it to fall out. Obviously, he never does!
    Marydean, our owls include boobooks - weird sounding, huh?
