+The closest we get to the Tasmanian Devil here in North America is the Wolverine. Colors are similar, disposition is the same, and they can also bite thru bones like a hyena.

Thanks, Whoz. Enjoy your vacation time and keep those pictures coming. It's nice to see the local flora and fauna with first had commentaries. As far a the koalas are concerned, I will never forget the picture of an Australian firefighter feeding water from a bottle to a cute little koala in a burn area. That totally wild critter was burned in a few places, but seemed to call a truce because of the water it needed. The picture was from the time a few years back when there were so many wildfires raging thru the middle of your beautiful country/continent.

And, like MDTNGrdner says, those exotics (turkeys and guinea fowl) in your part of the world are like almost pests that are all around us here in Tennessee.

Take care
