World Numbat Day is a special day to honour Western Australia’s unique mammal emblem and an awareness day to encourage the action to conserve the Numbat species. The numbat is a small marsupial which was found across southern Australia. Now, it is narrowed to a few isolated pockets in southwestern Australia as well as two small reintroduced populations in New South Wales and South Australia. With a wild population of less than 1000, the species faces the threat of extinction. I am yet to see one in the wild, even though I am a little over 100 miles from their home territory. I camped for a week in the Dryandra Woodland and never saw one.
