I'm reading Tim Bonyhady's new book on the Long-haired rat at the moment and the photo could match the descriptions. Though normally found in Qld and norhtern NSW, maybe it's bing forced over the mountains. Apparently the test is, does it eat your leather boots or saddlery!

Hi Mike. Interesting. That is the one and only time I saw it. I'll have to start leaving a leather boot outside and do the test! Cheers.
