Thanks for the comments. We have a lot of different species of Possum here, we even have some that fly. Although, in reality they just glide or 'parachute' between trees. They're normally called Gliders rather than Possums even though they're part of the Possum group of animals. On the name Possum. The correct common name for the American one is Opossum, the correct name for the Australian ones is Possum. The one in my photo is the Northern Brushtail Possum, Trichosurus arnhemensis. The Australian ones are not at all related to the American one, apart from being a four legged marsupial. There's some information on this link:

This link shows photos of some of the range of different possums we have (about 70 species of Possum, with some also in New Guinea and Sulawesi).
