It's a pleasure doing this job @AaronClausen. If you disagree with any of my suggestions, please help me improve by verifying the correct species.

@CarbonAI you have had a shocker on this one.

I wish to disagree with Carbon AI’s ID for a couple of main reasons the Eastern Grey Kangaroo has from pictures I have seen, have black front ‘hand’ not white and the picture clearly shows 3 white fingers as opposed to the EGK has 4 or 5 fingers. To reinforce my belief; in the INaturalist data sheet on Northern Brown Bandicoot there are a number of pics showing front hand with 3 fingers.
Kind regards. Roy

Many thanks @WalterEgo, that makes a huge difference. I am sure those are from an Eastern Grey Kangaroo. I have collected hundreds of thousands of them so I am reasonably familiar with them. Wombat droppings are larger and more cubic in shape. And often wombat droppings have less of the dark crust on the outside, i.e. more similar inside and outside. Breaking one of them open was a good idea because something that sets the droppings of those two species apart, and Red Necked Wallabies, is that their droppings are composed exclusively of finely chewed grass. The dung of Black (Swamp) Wallabies, and Feral Pigs contain coarser fragments.

Squarish appearance looks promising
