Why a Booktrail?
Wombat is nervous about going in the water…
Swim, Little Wombat, Swim!
What you need to know before your trail
Wombat has a new friend. And what an unusual animal Platypus is: he waddles when he walks, has a funny fuzzy face, and most special of all, can swim just like a fish. Little Wombat would love to do that too. But are wombats meant for the water…or is he better off staying on dry land?
Every child who has ever eyed the swimming pool nervously will happily follow Little Wombat’s success.

Wombats in Australia
Wombats are nocturnal, live in burrows and are closely related to the Koala. They are small, round and have good muscles so are often called “the bulldozers of the bush.”
Wombats live in coastal areas, grasslands or forest areas in New South Wales, eastern Victoria, north-east Tasmania and Flinders Island (a small island just north of Tasmania). They don’t live in the desert as they are herbivores.
Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales is another great place to see wombats in the wild, but like any wild animals, they’re not the most reliable when trying to spot them outside
