Don't have my literature on me right now. However, having had a superficial 
look 
at your pics they appear to me like a Northern Wallaroo/Euro Macropus robustus 
woodwardi.

Cheers,

Nikolas

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.
