Allied Rock-wallaby (Petrogale assimilis) (Macropodidae: Kangaroo, Wallaby)
The Allied Rock-wallaby is found in north eastern Queensland with populations on nearby Palm and Magnetic Islands. The animal filmed here was filmed from a walkway along the busy coast road on Magnetic island near Townsville. As their name suggests rock-wallabies are associated with rock and cliff like locations and can traverse seemingly almost vertical slopes with ease.
