Recent translocations of black-flanked rock-wallabies from the Wheatbelt and Cape Range to new homes along the Murchison River gorge are yielding positive results. These translocations are the culmination of earlier research and are just one of many conservation actions underway to benefit WA's rock-wallabies. Rock-wallabies are one of the few small macropods that can be reliably seen, if you know where to look. While mostly nocturnal, rockwallabies do have a fortunate habit of basking on sunny ledges during the cooler months; and they have become tolerant of people. Visitors to Kununurra and Lake Argyle often sight short-eared rock-wallabies {Petrogale brachyotis) at local lookouts; in Cape Range National Park, black-flanked rock-wallabies {Petrogale lateralis) are stars ofYardie Creek cruises; and increasingly in Kalbarri National Park, they are being observed by lucky visitors at the Skywalk and at Hawks Head Lookout.
