This is a quokka. They have a quirk of their facial structure that makes it look like they are smiling. They aren’t, but I don’t care — they are so amazingly cute.
Rottnest Island is one of a handful of places on earth to find quokkas in their natural habitat.
I’d say more about the island, but why? I can just post more quokka pictures.
(ok, clearly not a quokka, and not taken on Rottnest Island — it was taken at Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney — but since we’re talking about cute Australian animals, I coudn’t resist)
Those who found this place before the hint:

And to all of you who found it, I’d just like to add:
