It has a pointy face, stout body and quite bushy fur even for winter.
I catch them around my verandah. There is a Warren/nest about 50m away along a fence line.
Hope they aren't some endangered native. I've trapped about 6 and shot 2.

Used to get heaps of em down south where I used to live.
Soon as you leave something undisturbed they can get under and start burrowing,,, they would move in and breed.
They can dig massive warren complexes, albeit never very deep.
If you pile up some posts or firewood, when you get back to it later, the bottom layer is almost buried in sand.
They also like burrowing amongst Tea Tree roots and thick bracken fern.
Quite often near swampy areas too,, cos they can swim bloody well.

Thanks to my new dodgy neighbor we have two German Shepherds on the loose roaming the countryside. Second time they have done a runner. He's too thick to fix his fence and doesn't give a flock as he won't register them...so 'not my dogs' if they cause harm he suggested.
I don't blame the dogs for leaving. The wanker had them tied to chains for 8 days before they left.
Of course if they are seen on peoples farms they'd be mince meat.
I told the owner today. Not the dogs fault. He is responsible and has to sort his s**t out.
30-06 and 22-250 at the front of the safe in case my stock are harassed.
