Rock Wallaby Stickers

The brush-tailed rock-wallaby can be found in fragmented populations roughly following the Great Dividing Range from southeast Queensland to Western Victoria's Grampians. They live on rocky escarpments, granite outcrops and cliffs, which have caves and ledges for shelter and face north for warmth. They graze on native grasses found in surrounding habitat at dawn and dusk. They also feed on the foliage and fruits of shrubs and trees as well as roots and bark. They are medium-sized wallabies with the adults ranging from six to eight kilograms. They are very agile, moving confidently and swiftly around their rocky habitat using their long, thickly furred tail for balance and padded feet for grip.
