  Yes, I had seen some dead wombats somewhere too... think it was at the national park and people were driving too fast
  
  I think we have some "resident" possums at our place. It always wakes me at night when it walks on our roof to go somewhere.

  well, here's something...
  
  i used to smoke... so just outside Flinder's i was having a smoke while friends were eating chips.. they decided they wanted to feed the gulls the same time i decided to flick the cigarette butt... the chips and the butt ended up at the same place, the gulls swooped in and EVERYTHING was eaten...
  
  which means some gull ate a lit cigarette butt

  Victoria is just one of the states in Australia. So,
  Melbourne is the capital of Victoria, like
  Sydney the capital of New South Wales,
  Brisbane - capital of Queensland,
  Darwin - capital of Northern Territory,
  Perth - capital of Western Australia, and
  Adelaide - capital of South Australia.
  
  Is this what you are trying to ask? Hope that answers all your questions. Many thanks!

  It all depends what you like. The popular attractions are Great Ocean Rd (12 apostles), Phillip Island (fairy penguins), Dandenong Ranges, The Grampians, wineries on the Yarra Valley regions, Ballarat (Sovereign Hills where the Gold Rush took place) etc
  
  Shopping include Victoria Market, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Knox City etc
  
  There are lots of things to do here. Are you planning to visit Melbourne?

  Yes, I am a resident here and I love Melbourne. I've visited Sydney a number of times, it's nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Melbourne is nicer to live. Anyway, it's up to individual. If you love city, you might like Sydney more.

  Don't think anyone cares.
  
  Are they really Australian frog? Haven't seen them around. We have lots of cane toads up in Queensland and NT though. They are pests and it's the biggest mistakes ever to have them introduced in Australia.
