We don't know yet. We'll have to wait for further research.

No. The star-nosed marsupial is not a marsupial, but a placental mammal. The only marsupial moles are found in northern Australia.
The golden mole is not a marsupial, but a placental mammal. It is different to the rather unusual marsupial moles of Australia.
Marsupial moles are found in Australia. There are two species.The Southern marsupial mole, or itjaritjari, is found across much of the arid regions of central Australia, and the southern and western deserts.The Northern marsupial mole, or kakarratul, is found also in arid central Australia, as well as the northwest deserts.
No. There are no golden moles in Australia. There are no true moles in Australia, as moles are placental mammals, but there are two species of marsupial mole, known as the Itjaritjari and the Kakarratul.

There are no moles in the traditional sense, meaning there are no placental moles. However, there are two marsupial moles, completely unique to Australia and found nowhere else in the world. These marsupial moles are more correctly known by their native names of itjaritjari (southern marsupial mole) and kakarratul (northern marsupial mole).
Wombats, bilbies, bandicoots, marsupial moles, antechinus and phascogales are just some of the many burrowing marsupial species.
There are two species of marsupial mole. Southern marsupial moles are found through the arid regions of central Australia. Their main distribution is through the Northern Territory and South Australia, but they are found in asmall area within southeastern Western Australia. A distribution map can be found at the related weblink below. Northern marsupial moles are found across the arid northwest of Australia. A distribution map is also available at the second related weblink below.
Animals which live in burrows include moles, marsupial moles (which are quite different to moles), badgers, foxes, aardvarks, bilbies, wombats, platypuses, planigales, rabbits, prairie dogs, gophers, groundhogs, antechinuses and dunnarts, just to name a few.
Moles live up to 6 years in captivity and 3-4 years in the wild. They only live for this long because of preditors and lack of food.
Yes. Tiny marsupial mice, pouchless opossums, Tasmanian devils, bandicoots, kangaroos, marsupial moles, koalas, sugar gliders, and cuscuses all look nothing alike but are all marsupials.
