Rock Wallaby

The Brush Tailed Rock Wallaby recovery team released 11 wallabies in The Grampians last November. We will be supplementing the numbers this year and the following, releasing possibly 5 wallabies each time. Presently we are in the process of moving some captive breeding animals around the participating institutions for further breeding.  We have had one birth in captivity this year to date.

The cross fostered Joey on The Zoo, named Archie, is still at Adelaide Zoo but will move to the Waite Institute where he will join other cross-fostered wallabies and in time become  the most important breeding male in the programme.
