Wildlife Seen on Your Last Walk?

Thought I might see one of our slithery friends today and I was right.

I have never seen so many Koala climbing marks on one tree. Looks like this Koala has been using this tree for days maybe even weeks. Very unusual as they tend not to hang around one tree for too long.

Our friend way up the tree hiding in the shadows.

Anyone know what sort of worm this is? When digging a hole for small shrub I unearthed this. Slightly more than 2.5cm in length. Very active in burrowing back into soil.
I unearthed 2 of them, 2 holes 4m apart.

Maybe a type of Ribbon Worm (click on the gallery tab for photos): https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/89e92ab7-7ffc-4cc4-9149-19c8f8079940

Possibly a 'canary worm'... https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1234446010

Thank you but unfortunately, none of those appear to have the "banding" of slightly darker yellow colour. It was a pale colour and the banding appeared to be subcutaneous.
It was a faster mover and found 10cm or so deep.

Today's gentle stroll around the local area resulted in 3 Koalas and 2 male Red Belly Blacks fighting each other. Amazing how a walk with no expectations turned into a very interesting one.
