Unless in a zoo, due to differing climates, wombats in the wild can only be found in Australia.
Depending on the species, wombats can be found in the southern part of Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, and NSW, and the southwestern corner of Western Australia. They range from grasslands to mountains and hillsides - wherever they can dig burrows and find food. They tend not to be found in desert regions, because there is insufficient food.
The wombat is only found naturally in Australia.
The wombat is only found on the continent of Australia.
The species of wombat found in Tasmania is the Common wombat. This species is also found on the mainland, in the southeastern states of Australia.The Southern Hairy nosed wombat is primarily limited to parts of South Australia, while the Northern hairy nosed wombat, which is critically endangered, is restricted to just the Epping Forest National Park in Wueensland, and now a new location as well, the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge.
The most common wombat in Australia is actually the species known as the Common wombat, or (more recently) the Bare-nosed wombat, to distinguish it from the two species of Hairy-nosed wombats.

There are three species of wombats: the Common Wombat, the Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat, and the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat. The Common Wombat is the most widespread, found in forests and grasslands in southeastern Australia. The Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat is critically endangered, primarily found in a small area of Queensland. The Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat, while more abundant than its northern counterpart, is still vulnerable due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures.
There are several differences between the Norhern Hairy nosed wombat and the Common wombat.The Common wombat lacks the distinctly hairy nose of either the Northern Hairy nosed wombat or the Southern Hairy nosed wombat.The Common wombat is the smallest of the three wombat species, while the Northern Hairy nosed wombat is the largest of the three.The Common wombat's ears are not as pointed as the Northern Hairy nosed wombat's ears.The Common wombat has a conservation status of Vulnerable, but the Northern Hairy nosed wombat is Critically Endangered.The Common wombat is found throughout southeastern Australia and the island state of Tasmania, while the Northern Hairy nosed wombat is now restricted to one protected enclosure in western Queensland, within Epping Forest National Park.The Common wombat feeds on grasses, sedges and tubers, but the Northern Hairy nosed wombat is more likely to feed on just native grasses.The Northern Hairy nosed wombat has a much squarer muzzle than the Common wombat.
