Wombats: The bare-nosed wombat can be seen on country roads at night. They have a high mortality on our local roads, with poor eyesight and hearing they will often dart behind the bright blinding headlights straight under a car. To get them off the road here's a little wombat speak for you to learn: as loud as you can, out the window, say 'Tssst tsst tssst and they should run away. Mange (human scabies) is also killing many wombats and the population is in decline Farmers generally feel they compete with their sheep and cattle for grass and make holes under fences. If they're left to the creek lines they become part of the farms biodiversity. Wombats have the slowest metabolism of all our marsupials with their gut flora making the most of the grasses they eat; having that in the environment could help farmed animals do the same, much like farmers use camels in their herds
Dianna has designed a range of local animals either real, extinct or an First Nations myth and they now are affordable garden art. Wombat, Koala, Kangaroo, Quoll, Thylacine, Drop bear, Bunyip.
Initial designs were Funded a community arts project by the Shared Spaces programme, a NSW Government initiative to Upper Lachlan Shire Council. The target was to get motorists speeding thru our local small town of Taralga to slow down and stop and look around. So sharing roads with cards and wildlife.
