A nest? I'm guessing not as obvious as a bird's nest if it is indeed a nest.

Wombat? Or do they live in a hole in the ground?

It’s very clever, whatever creature it is.
All I know is that it is not a Wombat.

Cathy is right, not a wombat. There is a link with one of these.

Have you all given up? One last clue, it's a very specific Australian mammal.

Looks somewhat like a Weaver Birds nest, but ofcourse they are not mammals.

About 6" long and weighs 6 ounces Cathy.....
Just seen your post Kev and yes its roofer's mallet for shaping lead sheet.

Neither did I Stanley until I started looking for Australian mammals.

There’s so many tiny mammals Stanley.
I think it lives in the desert.

Possum? Not sure how that relates to a lead dressing tool but it's the only small Australian mammal I could think of

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

It’s only 6 “ long.
And very clever.

Yes Kev, it's a possum! But a very special one. I get a feeling Cathy has realised what it is....

I had to look up a list of Australian possums but I've found it. A good clue there Stanley, never heard of one of them.

A Pygmy Possum.

. Give it to Big Kev because I had actually forgotten about the Pygmy Possum, I was thinking more mouse/rat.
