Common Brushtail Possum in Australia

Where are common brushtail possums in Australia? The strongest odds are at Great Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island, where access and habitat beat a chance roadside glimpse.

Several parks and reserves in Australia are worth planning around. Great Ocean Road (Victoria); Kangaroo Island (South Australia). Use the notes under each spot to match the trip to your route.

Australia context: Koalas in the gum trees, kangaroos across the red centre, and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.

In Australia, look especially around eucalypt woodland, suburban garden, urban roof dens, and forest edge. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
