The aim of the OzAnimals.com site is to present photos and information covering a wide range of Australian Wildlife. There is now about 500 species of Aussie animals up on the site including many different kinds of mammals (including many marsupials, also marine mammals such as whales, numerous kinds of dolphins and seals), lots of birds, reptiles, frogs and spiders.

I was recently staying at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. One evening I noticed a Bandicoot digging in the mulch down in the yard. It was a too far away for decent photo, and my flash didn’t have the oomph to light it properly, but had a crack at it anyway. By shining a torch on the animal I could get just enough light for the autofocus to lock in after it thrashed around for a while.
