User's notes
The map doesn't quite match my idea of the trails so gps location could be wrong. This guy was sitting on a rock right at the end of the wallaby walk where it rejoins the main walk.

Hi Ct1000 I can confirm the species, but the location is up to you. Tidbinbilla is an Open-range Zoo. Exactly where the (re)introduced species appear depends on a combination of the escapes that take place, as well as where the zookeepers intend the animals to be, so there is no way for a moderator to prescribe the location.
