a dutch mate of mine was there with his wife and two boys ------ he was ex dutch army and a very very cruisy bloke -
they were asleep in the accommodation on either the first or second night in Australia and a possum ran across his bed (which, I've never heard of since) and rocketed up the wall into the roof -
scared the shit out of him - he chucked one boot at it and from memory another - then, sat up half the night on guard for whatever the evil Oz monster was
