It is a fox, which as a species was introduced to Australia by settlers in the 1830's with devastating effect on our native wildlife. Definitely unwanted here.
I was recently staying in the country and rose early to go for a walk with my camera. A fox and cub were playing happily in the garden. I was surprised at how close to the house they were.

They thrive don't they? As so many introduced animals do.
