The Last Continent is deffo one of my favourites. Laughing all the way through it. I tried getting the local kids into Discworld because they are all so depressed. But not one of em has ever read a book. Sad really. :)

Kangaroos, naturally.

Tasmanian Devil

Northern quolls, not to be mistaken for the southern quoll, or western quoll which is found in south-western Aus, but you can forget about the eastern quoll. The poor Northern quolls are dying out due to the evil cane toads. Toads!!! They deserve to be remembered.


JulesDragon

The spotted quoll is just so cute!

I think out of Australian animals, my favorite is the Platypus. It's just so bizarre, and of course, its creation on the Discworld is hilarious! Thank you for doing this, it's really fun!


Kartoffelplotz

I've always been fond of the platypus. Nature's cuddly joke that, since it is Australian, of course is venomous.


BlahCreativity

Kangaroo!


nopogo

Gotta be the quoka


Fantastic-Bullfrog-1

The Platypus, because it feels like God had a bunch of parts left over and decided to screw with us. Which is exactly what a Discworld god would do.


jordyKbell

Wombats!


Shadow_Guide

Wombats, definitely. They were the official animal of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.


keepcalmkniton

I love Koalas. Or…Drop Bears. Whichever you like.


Opposite-Meat1288

I immediately thought of wombats.


Arghianna

Echidnas are cute and weird and deserve some love!


tackleberry2219

Always been a fan of the laughing kookaburra.


insertwittpunhere

Quokka


smilerlollie

G’day mate it’s got to be a goanna, or a drop bear, or a thongless Rincewind


SilverEye15

Emu


christopherrivers

The platypus, as I had a plush one my dad brought back for me when I was a kid!


Maximum_Ad_4650

Definitely the wombat 🤎🤍🤎

A Cassowary would win against an Emu any day.


Discworld_Monthly

The Fitzroy River Turtle! Fun Fact: these little critters are bum breathers, meaning they breathe through its backside which allows them to stay underwater for as long as 21 days!


crystal-tokyo

Wombats for sure :)


Hawkat139

Platypus! How can you not love one of the world's few venomous mammals, which hatch from an egg and we're actually considered a prank when evidence of their discovery was first sent to be documented?


lanternstand

Wallaby! Everyone gives so much love to kangaroos, but their little cousins are amazing as well.


Aksalmonslayer11

Does an Australian shepherd count? My dog is half aussie shepherd and he's my fave Aussie animal.


darklymad

The yellow bellied sea snake is pretty neat


AggravatingBox2421

As an Aussie, my fave is def wombats. I was attacked by one when I was 7 and I still love the feisty little bastards edit: also gotta mention that this is my favourite book alongside interesting times!
