Yes, there are many more interesting marsupials in addition to the
over-used wombat (Vombatus). How about the family Phalangeridae?
Why, the Phascolarctus (koala  or "teddy bear") is far more cuddly
and easy to feed. And there's always the Perameles (bandicoot) which
is very nice to have around the house to get rid of all your house flies,
centipedes, whatever. For real action and fun, though, you must get a
Sarcophilus (Tasmanian devil). They are especially fun when placed in a
small cage with the koala and bandicoot. Face it, the flamers are right.
Wombats are just old hat and BORING!
