@Arella Mae,
We don't have opossums in Oz, we have possums
Not sure how related the two are. Usually shy, but bastards if they take up residents in your roof. Scary as f*** if you catch one in a cage to relocate. But sweet when not threatened. At RMC Duntroon Officers Mess a cook I worked with used to feed them fruit after dinner was served. One night she was in hurry to get back to barracks to go out, so she left as soon as dining service stopped leaving me to cleanup. The possums followed her demanding their fruit.
