The Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus)
The Common Wombat is a large (about the size of a pig) herbivorous burrowing marsupial with a wide habitat and endemic in the Mitta Valley. They are more closely related to the Koala than any other animal. Wombats live in underground burrows, often creating an extensive labyrinth of tunnels. The home range varies from 5-23 ha and during summer the Common Wombat is mainly nocturnal. In winter they can be seen grazing during the day.Breeding may occur at any time during the year and usually only one young is born.The Common Wombat lives at least 5 years in the wild and up to 20 years in captivity.

Anthropogenic Cause for Global Warming
There is little doubt that our Planet is experiencing a cycle of warming but the contention that warming is solely due to the actions and lifestyle of the inhabitants will turn out to be the hoax of the century. These hoaxes have been perpetrated by vested interests before, remember Y2K and the global freezing claims of the 1960's and 1970's? Our Planet has always been in a climate cycle of varying duration and certainly well before humans existed. Whilst there is a strong argument to live in an environmentally-friendly society and minimise energy consumption, this is a feel-good response that will not reverse climate cycles.
Think of this the next time you read a scare story on

Stop climate Change
Ian Plimer is the Professor of Mining Geology at The University of Adelaide and Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at The University of Melbourne.
If we humans want to stop climate change, then we have a huge task ahead of us. We need to stop continents moving, stop the shape of the sea floor changing, stop pulling apart the ocean floors, stop building mountains, stop volcanoes belching out greenhouse gases and dust, stop hot flushes of gas rising from the Earth's core, stop earthquakes, stop comets breaking up in the upper atmosphere, stop the changes in the Earth's orbit, stop the cycles of solar changes and stop radiation hitting Earth from deep space. Our generation did not discover climate change, the Earth's climate has always changed. If we Australians stopped burning fossil fuels, this would make not one iota of difference to the global climate......Over time, humans have endured great climate changes. Periods of cold climate, especially combined with decreased sunspot activity, volcanicity and pandemics, have greatly depopulated the Earth. Humans and other organisms have thrived in times of warm climate. We humans live on ice sheets, on mountains, at the tropics, at sea level and in deserts.....If we moved from Hobart to Darwin, the average temperature rise would be 18 degrees Celsius yet this warmth does not seem to be lethal for Darwinians. Both animals and plants constantly migrate to adapt to climate change. ....Science is not about consensus or belief, these words are those of politics and religion. Science is a celebration of uncertainty. Scepticism and criticism are valued and information from all different disciplines is integrated in an attempt to understand the world around us. Because the current theory on human-induced climate change is not in accord with validated geology and astronomy, then the theory must be rejected. ...The tail has wagged the dog and squeaky wheels and a sensationalist media have forced both major political parties, against their better judgment, to make political comments about climate change. These comments have nothing to do with science. They are pragmatic political survival. What is interesting is that the squeaky wheels are in affluent western countries that have lost the religious structure to society. Climate change has become the new dogmatic religion and woe betide heretics, sinners and the wealthy. We are all now to pay papal carbon indulgences to the Archbishops of climate change (on the condition that such payments only hurt a little).
