Off to Tasmania

Have fun Tezza- ride safe


Is that what the Tasmanian Devil in the cartoons was...a Wombat?

I remember the Hodaka Combat Wombat

No..A wombat is like a ground dwelling koala on steroids. Imagine a section of tree trunk 2 foot long and about a foot or so in diameter placed on the road. Try running over that!

Just to build on that. Mate, a Wombat, natures answer to a bulldozer. A dense muscular form that looks like a small thick tree log has grown four stumpy legs and has been fur upholstered. They are approximately one meter in length when fully grown and weigh in at roughly 35 kilos. They also have a think protective shield of cartilage that they turn on attackers that is almost impervious to harm.
I’m reliably told colliding with a wombat is like crashing into a tree stump. A tree stump with a butt shield! In themselves they pose no huge risk, they are vegetarian and nocturnal of habit. They like to graze on the fresh grass shoots by the road. Sometimes they take a fancy to the grass on the other side of the road. They are not easy to see, particularly on a rainy evening or early morning. Hit one and you will become, at least, part of the scenery.


Wombats lead those with good intentions to put up signs like this:
