I agree with @DonFletcher - it sounds like a Brushtail Possum. Have a listen at https://wildambience.com/wildlife-sounds/common-brushtail-possum/?srsltid=AfmBOoqmM4d5Zb3Ve0K_dUXau_o-cap3CBHsUAWprxcybcxx3YPLhba7

Hi @Frecko, I'm not good with sounds and I don't really know what this is but to me it sounds a bit like like a Brush Tailed Possum. Maybe other mammal moderators will chip in with their opinions.

Hi Martin. I agree with notatus.

Thank you @Dron for the measurements and the additional picture and video. That gives a lot more information.
Based on the additional information my ID now leans more towards Petaurus notatus (Krefft's Glider). Based on the wire spacing and your second picture it looks like the head/body length is approximately 17cm, which makes it smaller than I originally thought. Also in the additional picture you sent it looks like quite a short tail (approximately equal to the head/body). Both these fit more with Petaurus notatus.

@DonFletcher what do you think?
