Red-necked Pademelon
Thylogale thetis.
A female with joey in pouch. These very cute marsupials can be spotted all over the Border Ranges and are quite common in the Lamington National Park.
This one (and several others) was contentedly grazing in the camp ground.

definitely very cute, I would have called it a wallaby, shows how much I know , but its face is a bit different if I think about it!!
great beady eyes, lovely sharp photo with soft background
Nice! One of the Pademelon family lives in the Mt Mee State Forrest but they love to hide in the scrub making them darn hard to capture unless I am shooting landscape with my 17-40 on then they like to stand around in the open until I reach for the camera bag. :P
Cute David.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/33085391@N00] Well they're like wallabies in that they are marsupials and hop around, but they're much smaller (think large cat sized to medium dog sized). This one isn't the one I shot while laying on the ground, but I was fairly low down anyway.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/accesser] I've not seen the pademelons on Mt Mee yet. Seen a few wallabies up there though.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kanegledhill] So I've been told - oh wait, you meant the pademelon ;-)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/accesser] Clearly I've been there at the wrong time of day!
You have to love O'Reilly's. We visit Lamington almost yearly, always great. Love this pademelon, great shot of the little guy. :)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/49276292@N02] Indeed, it's a wonderful place. I must try to fit a camping trip in at some stage as there's so much to see and due to distance we're usually there in the middle of the day, well past the best time for fauna.
This is the best kind of redneck there is!
Inspires me to want to head back to Lamington.
Nicely done Dave.
Fun shot!
Great shot David.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/unrelatedpatterns] Indeed :)

yeah, very sweet shot David - I haven't been to O'Rielly's for years - not entirely keen on the winding drive lol

Sharp detail mate!! Excellent DOF & BG tones.

Lovely shot ~
Hehe, I'm now getting lens envy! I'm trying to resist the urge to get a large tele prime.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/45447707@N00] thanks!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonmcmanus] Go on, you know you want to :) The 400/5.6L is relatively cheap (for a super-tele).
lovely pose . . .nice capture!!
