Found in bushes, box gum woodland on Lake George escarpment. Unsure if sugar or squirrel, seems very large for sugar?

I am pretty sure that only sugar gliders have the white tip to the tail (though not all sugar gliders have white tipped tails)

Correct Michael. But it has been split into three species, and Sugar (breviceps) is only east of the Great Dividing Range. Ours is Krefft’s glider (Petaurus notatus). I will try to add it to the list and remove breviceps.
