I'm now convinced, Common Wallaroo. I am not convinced that they should be on the island though.

Hi,

So it's most likely to be Euro / Wallaroo. That's what I was wondering. Though still a chance of Eastern Grey.

Here are some pics of the animals off the web:

G'day Simon,

It looks like a Euro to me, so probably introduced.

Cheers Jeff.

Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could help. I've got this trip
http://aussiebirding.wildiaries.com/trips/10263 to Daydream Island from a
few years back. Locally, they refer to the macropods as "rock wallabies" but
there's really only two types that could occur: Proserpine and Unadorned.

The animals have some striping in the tail and black tail-tip but are
generally plain coloured. They don't look like rock-wallabies facially -
more like kangaroos, but they are not big enough.

Anyone have any knowledge / suggestions about what these are?

Regards,

Simon.
