Rare and Small

Late afternoon on the Ord River cliffs and a Monjon rock wallaby (Petrogale burbidgei) appears, apparently to sit back and relax. Monjons are the smallest rock wallabies on the planet (1.3kg, 30cm) and only found in the remote northwest Kimberley and neighbouring Bonaparte Archipelago. Their speed and agility over the vertical and craggy cliff face are astounding. A rewarding capture after a long journey through the remote Australian bush.
