Cute as a button, and awesome as a possum!

A golden brushtail possum named Bailey greeted her public for the first time last week at the Wild Life Sydney animal park, where she was born six months ago.

These tree-dwelling marsupials are rarely seen in the wild, so her debut has caused quite a stir at the park and beyond.
