Hi @mahargiani , thanks for the report. This is the female, often confused with the Eastern Grey Kangaroo. Her tail is one of the most obvious differences from an EGK. The male is an unmistakable chunky looking animal with dark grey fur, slightly shaggy in appearance.

Thanks. Agree, looks like an EGK. I believe that this species is a nocturnal visitor to my yard, not sure what it browses on but none of the plants I care about get damaged!
