A few days ago in Manly Dam park, I saw this sweet little wallaby on a hillside covered with pink flowers (Boronia). In recent weeks, there’s been a wallaby on this hill each time I’ve passed by. I don’t know if it’s the same wallaby, but I’m thinking maybe it (or they) like the flowers as much as I do.

Swamp Wallabies are a type of small kangaroo (macropod) found in eastern Australia. They’re dark grey in colour, with rust-red fur around their ears and chest particularly during breeding season. They’ll hop away as you approach, then turn round and watch you from a safe distance.

Although this is primarily a bird blog, I’ve published a few other posts about wallabies too!
