Thallon Water Tank Art - Queensland

Have you seen the Thallon Wombats in Queensland?

When you go and visit the Thallon Silos, make sure you also visit the local pub for an evening meal or just pop in for a beer.

Then take a visit out the back door to see these wonderful little water tanks that were also painted by JThe Zookeeper & Drapl during their stay at Thallon July 2017.

They depict the now critically endangered Northern - Hairy Nosed Wombat, once a local resident in the surrounding area of Thallon.  It might have already been in decline when Europeans settled, and was probably the least common of the three wombat species at that time.

Since then, competition for food from introduced grazing animals, such as sheep, cattle and rabbits - particularly during droughts – has been the main reason for the species rapid decline since European arrival in Australia.
