Craig Wilson and his stepfather Bob Wilton were fishing for trout on Woods Lake in central Tasmania when they spotted the wombat who appeared to be drowning.
The pair quickly came to the adorable animal's rescue and scooped him up in a net.

"It was a pretty rough and windy day. I think he probably got blown into the water and started swimming in the wrong direction.
"At first I thought he was a platypus but as we got closer I saw he was too big. And then when we got closer I saw his was a wombat. I told Craig to net him because he seemed pretty distressed," Wilton said.
"He kept falling out of the net so I picked him up and put him in the boat. Wombat's can be quite aggressive but he just sat patiently and waited for us to take him back to the shore. When we put him out of the boat he just waddled off into the bush."
