Not great photos, trouble getting close enough with the phone, but definitely an albino joey.

Hi @Clarel did you confirm albinism by seeing that it had pink eyes? (I cant tell from the photo).
Ainslie-Majura! What a place! It has the acromelanistic Black (Swamp) Wallaby, the Lonely Wombat and soon it will have this albino EGK as well! Surely there must be a grand unifying conspiracy theory to explain this, probably linking modern Defence facilities (Campbell Park Office), secret tunnels to Parliament House, chemicals released from unexploded ordinance, high voltage electricity lines behind the suburb, astrology, homeopathy, religion, flat earth, reiki, vapor trails, the rise of One Nation, animal liberation, kangaroo culling and crystal healing. I hope so.

Hi @DonFletcher. 100% - a magical bush island somehow persisting surrounded by highways, pine plantations, urban weeds, the list goes on. Yes, red eyes. I visited them again today have added a slightly better photo.
