We are still following the progress of the brush-tailed rock-wallabies and all are still alive.  We are very glad.

They are not going very far from the release site and are staying with their families.  We think that they must like the site the team chose for them and that they want to stay there.  We sure hope so.

Some of the collars that were not working are working now so Tony is happy.

We think that the fox baiting program must have been pretty successful as they have not had any brush-tailed rock-wallabies to eat!!!

The release team have put cameras out in the park to try and get some photos of the wallabies.

The cameras go off when something moves in front of them.  There are some photos of wallabies and we hope to have some to put on the website soon.
