In Garfield, all residents were on high alert to the fires breaking out in the Bunyip State Park last weekend.
One particular resident, a curious possum, was vigilantly checking on the fires from the safety of a house – much to the surprise of occupant Robyn Parkinson.
“We got up in the morning to a possum in the house,” Ms Parkinson said.
“He seemed to be checking if the fires have died down so he can move on.”
Shortly after the shot was taken on Monday 4, the keen-eyed possum was returned to the safety of the trees.
