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.
