Black-footed Rock Wallabies six years ago today
Black-footed Rock Wallabies, mother and out of pouch sibling, Simpson's Gap, 15 March 2015. The youngster too big to fit in its mother's pouch, but still suckling from one of her nipples ...
We are so lucky to have these nationally endangered small wallabies at Simpson's Gap in a small population (and some other boulder field habitat sites around the Macdonnell Ranges). When they are leaping around the boulder field inside the gap around sunset and dusk they are amazing to watch.
Nocturnal, rest up in the boulder field during the day and come down to graze overnight.
If they are not moving it can be quite easy not to see them
Gorgeous aren't they. Lovely memories to have of them ... sigh!
