Friendly rock wallabies in an outback granite gorge.

Living amongst the giant granite boulders in a remote gorge in North Queensland is a large population of tiny hopping rock wallabies. Small paddy-melon sized macropods. These miniature rock wallabies live within the caves & crevices of the gorge which gives them great protection from predators. I had a great time sitting amongst them & after a few hours I even had a cute little one jumping all over me! At the time I had the urge to do a David Attenborough voice but luckily I didn't. ;D

Yeah Canon 7D. I think I used a 24-70mm lens but would probably use my 10-20mm lens next time.
