Was the furry brown animal I saw in Brisbane Botanical Gardens a bandicoot?

Question:

Northern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus)

Have bandicoots even been found in the City Botanic Gardens? If not, what were the darting little brown forms I used to see passing from one bush to another when I visited the gardens 20 years ago?
