Party time for Patrick!

Here at the Dougall Diaries we would like to wish a very happy THIRTIETH birthday to Patrick the Wombat from Ballarat.


Patrick is the oldest bare-nosed wombat in captivity, by 10 years!! And at a MASSIVE 40kgs, he has GOT to be the biggest too!!



My peep is a massive fan of Patrick, and keeps telling me we look alike... But I don't see it...


Patrick's keepers at the Ballarat Wildlife Park, to help perpetual batchelor Patrick out on his birthday, have set up a Tinder account for the S.N.A.W. (sensitive-new-aged-wombat).



We wish you luck in your search for love, Patrick, and hope your get plenty of carrots and rides in your barrow for your birthday.

Woofs, from Dougall.

  3. SHE says we look like wombats, too. SHE loves them. We watched Patrick on the News. Apparently, Patrick initially got loads of offers for a girlfriend--then they realised he was the wombat and not the keeper....bwahaahaa!

  9. We can see the resemblance between the wombat and a fat Scottie. If he lost a little weight, he might have a longer life. Happy birthday to Patrick!

  10. We think that Patrick does kinda looks like you, so maybe HE wants to be a 'Scottie!

  11. How cool! I never knew that Ballarat had a famous wombat named Patrick. And 30 years old too! I didn't know that Scottie people say they look like wombats, I can't say I've noticed. But you often have to know someone well to see things like that. I often thought wombats were like a giant version of my Cocoa the black guinea pig.
