Abstract

The ecology, behaviour and social organisation of two plain rock-wallaby colonies (Petrogale inornata assimilis) were studied between 21 November 1981 and 4 September 1982, near Townsville, North Queensland. Data were collected from direct observation of rock-wallabies in the field and by live-trapping. Individual rock-wallabies were recognised by both natural body marks and artificial marks applied during trapping periods.
