bodleing2: Yes i was quite saddened when i heard they were no longer hopping around the area in the Peak District they had made their home for so long.
I never had the pleasure of seeing one but have spoken to a few who have. The area where they lived was close to what's regarded to be the best gritstone outcrop in the Peak District, the Roaches.
I've climbed there many times and always kept a sharp lookout for a sighting of a Roaches wallaby, but sadly they always eluded me.
A wiki link to the Roaches, the wallabies are mentioned in the wildlife section. Also a bit of information on the winking man.

Yes that's winking man in case you mis-read...laugh

Sounds like they're almost everywhere. I guess i could do with changing my thread title to.... The Roaches Wallabies might be no more but the uk is far from a Wallaby free zone.

Please don't fret they still inhabit this area, also most the east coast Victoria and even South Australia as well as Tasmania.

Why are you piddling around with wallabies? what you want to do, is get a few hundred Eastern greys and Western reds, and see how that goes...

Kangaroos... They have an interesting defence tactic, if dogs are chasing them they'll lead them into a creek and drown them.
