Where can you find Swamp Wallabies?

Swamp wallabies are found in the eastern half of Australia. They live in dense bushland undergrowth and prefer to spend their days hiding in thick grass, ferns and bushland, coming out at night to feed. The Brigalow scrub of Queensland's southwest is a popular region for swamp wallabies. Other preferred habitat is wet or dry sclerophyll forest (common bushland), woodland and heathland, though it is also known to inhabit rainforests. It also inhabits swamps and damp gullies, sheltering in the daylight hours amidst dense forest vegetation.

Swamp wallabies range from Cape York in far north Queensland, down the east coast and around to south-western Victoria. Swamp wallabies were once also found in south-east South Australia, but sightings now are uncommon.

It is commonly found around rural housing developments and bushland reserves in and near cities along the eastern coast.
