Wildlife of Sydney - Fact File - Common Brushtail Possum
Bats in the belfry? No, but we do have possums in our attic. We were woken up at four o'clock this morning by heavy steps and a clawing noise coming from overhead. Jim stood naked on a chair and banged on the ceiling. It was a sight to behold but the possum was not intimidated. Then Jim had a bright idea. One of the 'smart house' features is a sound system with speakers hidden in the roof. Jim gave the beast a quick blast of loud reggae and, sure enough, it scuttled off. Or maybe it had just gone to fetch its friends for a party....
