Australia's unique wildlife are worth celebrating & protecting. The possum is the Australian relative of the monkey. Possums are marsupials. They have inhabited our continent for millions of years. Many people consider them common however they have now largely disappeared from many country areas of NSW. I consider it good fortune & a privilege to have them living nearby They are shy & harmless - just in need of food & shelter. Spare a thought for these defenceless victims of tree & land clearing.
