Originally posted by PJ1 Nice set. It is hard to get some of the smaller wildlife. Your swamp wallaby is interesting. The ones up here seem to have much brighter facial markings. But there must be regional variations considering how widely distributed they are.
It seems to be a rule that animals in Queensland are more brightly coloured than further south. Yellow Robins in Queensland are much brighter than here also. The local macropod which has the nicest colour is the Red Necked Wallaby, but they are also shy and hard to catch. There's quite a bit of variation in the Grey Kangaroos here - some are slate grey while others are almost white.

Thanks Clarence! I've been trying to get a decent photo of a macropod hopping at speed for years. This was a pleasant surprise!
