I’ve had my run ins with your “critters” over here. Why, just two nights ago I found out a possum lives in a trashcan in our complex about 10m from my front door. Now, when I go out for a cigarette at night, he sits there and watches me. Of course, I’m not sure how dangerous these things are, but I’m not taking chances, so it evolves into this nightly staring contest.
Also, for your viewing pleasure, I present to you the queensland bird eating spiders…eating a bird!

You can pretty much guarantee that if it looks cuddly it will attack you.. Koala, Wombat, Kangaroo etc.
Possums are bad. They will scratch your eyes out.. as long as you dont go near them though, you will be fine. Let him stare you down.. If he starts running for you just stand still and close your eyes.
