Australian Wildlife

Visitors to Australia usually know all about the cute and cudly looking Koalas and Kangaroos, they usually have an idea of what a Tassie Devil is too (even though its based on a cartoon character). But what about all the rest of the Australian Native animals? Animals like the Wombat, Wallaby, Platapus, Echidna, what about the Frill necked lizard and a whole bunch of snakes.
