The Southern Brown Bandicoot
By Rosie W
I stared through my window
at the Southern Brown bandicoot
that was scrambling through the crunching leaves
in a Gamilaraay paddock.
I smelt the sap of the eucalyptus tree.
The Southern Brown bandicoot
slides down the shimmering surface of water.
The bandicoot scratches through the leaves,
not leaving a spider in sight.
He finds nice patch of leaves
and scratches through the night.
