We consider ourselves lucky to live amongst some of Australia's cutest wildlife. The endangered
Proserpine Rock Wallaby is endemic to the hill that we live on, plus a few other small pockets of national parks in and around Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays.
The Proserpine Rock Wallaby is a timid mainly nocturnal marsupial that lives amongst rocky outcrops. It is not often seen, however we have a covenant on our land that provides precious habitat for the wallaby so we get to see them quite regularly.

A friend of mine is a wildlife carer for
Fauna Rescue Whitsundays and has been looking after orphaned Proserpine Rock wallabies for 10 years. The babies are a delight to watch bound around the living room - they are so curious and so very cute.
