Over the past few years or so I have made a bit of an effort to improve my Australian mammal list. Resources like mammalwatching.com and the Australian Mammal Watching Group on Facebook have helped a lot as has hanging out with maniacs like Rohan Clarke http://www.wildlifeimages.com.au/. I will keep my list updated here with photos and other snippets of information over time.
