Wallabia bicolor
The species name bicolor comes from the distinct colouring variation, with the typical grey coat of the macropods varied with a dark brown to black region on the back, and light yellow to rufous orange on the chest. A light coloured cheek stripe is usually present, and extremities of the body generally show a darker colouring, except for the tip of the tail, which is often white.
Thick undergrowth in forests and woodlands.

Beautiful colours on this little guy. Nice photo.
What a nice thing to see on a walk!
Hi Nopayahnah, I saw half a dozen of these guys on a short walk to Swan Lake - a wetlands area on Philip Island. They were hanging out between the gumtrees in the scrub.
where did you see it?
