I may well be wrong but this looks like a Euro (Wallaroo) to me. It appears too
"hairy" for your standard Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

Subject: Pale-tailed Kangaroo on Black Mountain Nature Reserve, a Rose Robin
and some migrating honeyeaters
Not a bird, but someone conversant with macropodic marsupials might know why
this one has a pale tail.
There was a female Rose Robin lurking between the electricity substation, the
CSIRO workshop and the ANGB plastic house, Frith Road this afternoon. I heard
Rose Robin calls on three other occasions but was not sure whether it was the
same bird. It was hanging around with a large MFF. There were large parties of
honeyeaters (up to 50). Going on the calls alone, White-naped Honeyeaters were
in the majority.
