…and then I’m off. I stumbled on this Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby (_Petrogale lateralis _) half way up a rocky knoll near Mount Eaglebeak in the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, central Australia. It was a good day because I found a family of Dusky Grasswrens and saw Little Woodswallows at the same place! This Rock-wallaby is very important for many of the Arrernte people who live around Hart’s Range and Mount Eaglebeak for whom it has spiritual significance.
