I don't think I will ever tire of seeing marsupials in the wild. Even after many years in Australia, they still seem exotic - and frankly, unlikely!
These animals are Swamp Wallabies (Wallabia bicolor). They are not hard to see at Wilson Promontory, but they can be tricky to photograph as they seem much more timid than other species of wallaby and kangaroo. This species ix reasonably common in the right location. Males can weigh up to 27 kg and the female are about 10kg lighter.
This is another set of pictures where I used the car as a hide. It's a method I can recommend.

He/she is adorable! I can understand why you never tire of photographing this type of animal. This species looks a lot smaller than the kangaroo, but has that same "don't mess with me" look like they do. :-)
Wow - amazing!
They are very cute...and characteristic.
All the best!
such a cutie pie and photographed so well. We seldom see them out during the day down here.
It would be beyond amazing to me to see these in the wild. It makes me happy to know you still consider them amazing and unlikely.
extremely cute mammal. And very curious!
Lovely photos. It's always fun to see animals from other parts of the world--critters we don't see in our own countries.
What a cute little guy!
