From Hawksbury Gazette:
"Extinct" marsupial may be alive and well - NSW

A HAWKESBURY resident may have stumbled upon one of the most exciting zoological finds of the decade - a small marsupial previously thought to be extinct on Australia's mainland.
East Kurrajong resident and Hawkesbury Gazette newspaper employee Nicole Palmer was driving along Roberts Creek Road recently when she spotted a couple of unusual-looking animals.
"There was two of them. One was smaller. I pulled up and the larger one kept hopping towards the car so I strated rolling back down the hill and honking my horn," she said.
"They were both dark brown with white spots around its jowl and neck area, 3-4 inches of the tip of its tail was white and it didn't look like a tiger quoll, it was much smaller and less heavy."
