Some mates of mine staying in the hut at Ben Lomond reported that some Hobart climbers had cut the head off a wombat with a pocket knife, and brought the head still dripping with blood up to the hut. If this is true, these guys are a disgrace to the climbing scene and to humanity. If Parks and Wildlife found out about this, this could have negative ramifcations for the future of climbing on the mountain. If you are one of the wombat ghouls and you are reading this, please respond and verify the truth and circumstances of this incident.
