Swamp Wallabies
In my Gold Coast hinterland garden early this morning Wallabia bicolour grazing for breakfast. The larger one looks to be a female and is the rare gold morph which evolved on Stradbroke Island and is also very occasionally seen on the Queensland Gold Coast. This is my third sighting in the last ten years. The smaller wallaby which I have seen regularly is a juvenile and possibly the offspring of the other. I have seen the possible father grazing here once in the last few weeks. Swamp wallabies are very widely distributed along the east coast of Australia. The Golden Swamp Wallaby sighting makes this a special day.
