Drove to Port Arthur historical site, saw quite a number of Wallabies carcasses at roadside along the way, they are the commonest road-kills there. Their remains attracted carrion feeder like Forest Ravens (Tasmanian Ravens) Corvus tasmanicus, which are huge birds at 54 cm, they will fly off on approaching cars, no photos of them Ravens though.
I do not know whether these are bales of Pea straws or Hay in the fields just outside Hobart.
