The White Bennett's Wallaby is unique to South Bruny Island. There are about 100 of these in the South and have no natural predators. They are not albino wallabies, apparently a couple of generations off. I spent over a hour trying to find one and had just about given up until I stumbled across this one. Beautiful animal that posed for me for about 50 shots before hopping off.

Wasn't going to post one of these until I had got through all the images but my wife wanted me to. She fell in love with this little wallaby

Love this little guy Keith, I didn't know they existed. Seems usual the way he is sitting on his tail. Great to see him.
