Hi Mike
It looks like a male Red-necked Wallaby. In this region, Macropus robustus (Wallaroo / Euro) are black (males) or pale grey (females). The reddish form of M robustus (euro) occurs much further to the west.

Thanks Don. I thought it was big for a wallaby so assumed wallaroo, not knowing the colour variation.

Has longer looking fur like Wallaroo too, but did you see the cheek stripe? Eastern greys and
wallaroos don't have that.
wallaroos don't have that.
