...from the birdwatching part of our trip. This taken in the rainforest at Mary Cairncross, north of Brisbane. The animal is a Red-legged Pademelon Thylogale stigmata. A marsupial a bit smaller than a wallaby.When someone first said, Look out for the Pademelons," I was confused as I heard it as "paddy melons" - which my mum and dad used to call a species of melon we grew on the farm, mostly as animal feed, although my mother made gorgeous jam from them too.

New one on me, looks quite small in the pic. Off hand I can't remember how big a wallaby is.
Bigger than a pademelon, smaller than a kangaroo? Lol...
Yeah, that's real helpful thanks Glenda. *g*
Being a South Australian transplanted to Queensland I had the same problem. They're a weird mob up here in the Sunshine State...
