Hey Jude,

There is a possibility, admittedly remote, that koalas could be the culprits. Although only reported so far from the Monaro, this behaviour might be more widespread.

The horizontal scars look quite characteristic and distinct from anything else.

google 'koala bark chewing monaro' for more details
