Dear Ozarch members,
I am interested in identifying cases where wombat remains have been found within archaeological sites in SE Australia (V.ursinus). I am hoping that there may be a few floating around within the grey literature and would appreciate it if you may be able to send though any relevant references off list to georgia....@gmail.com.
Many thanks,
Georgia Roberts
Hello Georgia,
Many (or maybe "many many") years ago on the plains west of Bourke, towards the Gunderbooka Mountiains, I found in the side of a shallow gully 'sub-fossil' (infilled holes that looked to me just the same as wombat burrows I had extensively seen previously at Budthingeroo south of Jenolan Caves on the road to Kanangra Walls. This would be far west, I think, or known wombat records. At the time Bourke Council, NSW Environment, the Wombat Protection Society and many others were asked about this. And, despite few more scattered follow-ups since then I still do not know what is the known westernmost limit of wombat presence in NSW.
Cheers, John

Thanks Jeanette,
Willandra Lakes is then the westernmost known.
I presume the hairy nosed burrows the same as the common?
Cheers, John
