There is no such animal as the "southern marsupial".
However, if there was such an animal, it would mist likely be a marsupial. The vast majority of marsupial species are nocturnal.
All marsupial macropods are nocturnal, or at least crepuscular, feeding at dawn and dusk. None of them are diurnal.

Yes. The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as a Thylacine, was nocturnal. The Thylacine, now extinct, was a marsupial, and the vast majority of marsupials are nocturnal and/or crepuscular.
They are neither nocturnal or diurnal, they live underground so they don't respond to daylight.
Yes. The spotted cuscus, a marsupial found in Queensland, northern Australia, and northern and eastern New Guinea, is nocturnal, like most marsupials.
No. The Tasmanian devil is a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial. It gained its name for its bloodcurdling nocturnal screams.
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.
Koalas are marsupials, and most marsupial species are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and are active at night. Although Australia has few natural predators of the koala, the fact that they are nocturnal is still an adaptation to avoid predators, such as Birds of Prey.
Echidnas are mostly nocturnal, though in the southern areas of Australia they can be seen during the day as well. They are nocturnal in northern areas to avoid the heat.
Yes. The numbat is a native Australian marsupial, and it is also diurnal, meaning it is active during the day. This is most unusual among marsupials, as most species of marsupials are nocturnal.
