For sure. The other two potoroo species are in other states, and endangered with limited ranges.

Cool little critter! Do you see these often?

Was this little joey all by itself?

Excellent! Love these guys. If it had come out you would've seen it's like a tiny kangaroo.

Lovely critter!

The tail isn't in the photos, but I'm confident this is an Eastern Quoll. Easterns are considerably smaller and pointier-faced than Spotted-tailed/Tiger, and while their "default" color is greyish with white spots, a large proportion of them are born in the black-and-white form like in your photos, which other quoll species are not known for. And both quolls are on Trowunna's species list. Cheers!
