Swamp Wallaby is a misnomer - they exploit a very wide variety of habitats
from coastal dunes to rainforest.  They might be one of the winners from
the recent high frequency of fires in Royal National Park?

I notice this is one case where Menkhorst & Knight don't follow Strahan,
they give the common name as "Black Wallaby".
