a small animal standing on top of a large rock

One of the main aims (and highlights!) of a recent trip to the Flinder's Ranges in SA. These rock wallabies have got to be one of Australia's prettiest macropods in my opinion and they are very beautiful close up. I was lucky enough to have some great encounters with this species in the Brachina gorge area in the northern part of the Flinder's Ranges NP.

I have observed more than once Kookaburras trying to tap through nests in walls to get at hatchlings but have yet to see one succeed. View Large…
