While walking through a rainforest, I spotted this Swamp Wallaby hiding behind a fern frond. It stood there, still, staring at me.

The Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) is a small macropod marsupial. This wallaby is also known as the Black Wallaby, Black-tailed Wallaby, Fern Wallaby, Black Pademelon, and Stinker.

Captured near Mount Gulaga on the NSW
south coast of Australia.

Mount Gulaga (formally known as Mount Dromedary) is one of the highest mountains on the south coast of New South Wales. It rises above the village of Central Tilba and is within the Gulaga National Park.
