Whiptail "Pretty Faced" Wallaby
The charred background is the burnt-out dry scrub from back burning the week before, which we saw on the same day that we saw the Koala (a recent previous upload). The wallabies seemed to have faired fairly well, and they were concentrated on the few grassy areas left unscorched, allowing for plenty of photographic opportunity.
These guys have always been quite common on the grassy, drier sclerophyll-dominated drive up to the park, and they're a real treat every time you drive up there. They're particularly easy to see and get reasonably close to at Cainbable Mountain Lodge, which is some 20 minutes before you reach O'Reilly's.
