4964/6/7 QNC long excursion. Live-trapped under permit, examined and released.
Very social, came and explored our picnic area.
Poor possum.. recent road-kill on Gympie Road (speed limit is 60 kph in that area; heavy traffic). Couldn't tell whether male or female; in any case, middle of body had been mangled (not visible in photos which were taken from the footpath). In a long enough break in the traffic I was able to remove deceased from the roadway; I then placed it in a shallow grave in mulch in an adjacent garden bed under trees. Didn't take photos after removing it from the road.
