Hi, all
I guess you it's probably very easy to find out what kind of footprint this is. But I'm not an Aussie and don't have a clue what it could be, so could you please help me?

It looks more human than anything else to me. Size?

Certainly not human I think it was about 10 cm long, but anyway it was on the central plateau and I didn't see any 4 year old walking barefooted. In fact I didn't see anyone.

How far apart were the prints - both width and length? Was it definitely a four-footed animal and, if so, what was the difference between the front and hind prints?

wombat I reckon. I'd better if you can get a shot of the step pattern too (the whole track)

I don't know about a drop-bear, but we did come across this frightening creature once on a walk.......
