Like a great many mammal species, wombats use their faeces to mark their territory. Wombats produce cube shaped "scats" because of the type of food eaten by wombats and their fairly slow metabolism. Wombats leave scats to mark their territory atop rocks and logs, and cube shaped scats are less likely to roll away from the wombat's territory.

So, yeah, if you're not into unexpected landscaping and geometrically interesting feces, wombats might not be your favorite neighbors.
