Without doubt it's a female common wallaroo. Eastern greys are more slender and 
taller in build and have a very distinctive black tail tip.

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

Is this the correspondence Ross
http://www.sunraysiadaily.com.au/news/local/news/general/nowingi-solar-bid/1
894741.aspx Peter Crisp is a Nationals member he doesn't speak for Labor.
I doubt if Brumby would go public with the waste dump site for the solar
plant if it hadn't been discussed within government, he has too many minders
for that to happen.
It's anyone's guess as to what political maneuver is at play with the
selection of this site.

Cheers Jeff.
