Orphaned wombat Tonka, who was rescued by Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary, in Gundaroo, 30 kms north of Canberra, was seen pulling out clothes of the washing machine in the home of his carer Donna Stepan. He is seen 'burrowing' into the washing machine, pulling out clothes and inspecting the mysterious hole.
The southern hairy-nosed wombat prefers dry, open country. Both species live in burrows, preferring well-drained soils that are easy to dig in. The burrows, which are often built on the sides of gullies, can be up to 30 m long, and several metres deep.he southern hairy-nosed wombat prefers dry, open country.
