It's a doe Wallaroo and I am sure that more Kangaroos than Wallaroos are killer by cars in the Canberra Region.

Surprising fact I learned a few months ago; Wallaroos are killed by cars in Canberra (or perhaps the ACT) more often than Eastern Greys.

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

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.
