User's notes

This was a single individual first sighted in June 2018 on Oakey Hill and sighted again a couple of months ago when in the company of Parks & Conservation Ranger. I am therefore very comfortable with the identification as a red necked wallaby. This is a very shy individual and this is the first opportunity I have had to get a photograph.
