If you drive along The Boulevard at dusk, occasionally look away from the amazing coastline and scan the grassy plains. There may be wallabies watching you. This is a swamp wallaby. At 29 pounds for a female and 37 pounds for a male, they are considerably smaller than a kangaroo. They are adorable. Their distinctive characteristic is the light cheek stripe. They also have a pungent smell, hence the name of this subspecies. Many Aussies call them stinkers. This macropod uses their forelimbs to hold onto a plant or shrub while eating it. This unusual trait is called browsing. They leverage their tail – which can be as long as their body – to help them stand. The Summerland Peninsula is the southernmost tip of the black wallaby’s range along eastern Australia.
