UNADORNED ROCK-WALLABY


The 'Unadorned Rock-wallaby' (''Petrogale inornata'') is a member of a group of closely related rock-wallabies found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is paler than most of its relatives and even plainer, hence its common name.
The Unadorned Rock-wallaby is patchily distributed in coastal ranges from around Rockhampton to near Townsville. This range includes the small range of the Proserpine Rock-wallaby (''P. persephone''), the only rock-wallaby in the region not closely related to its neighbours. Interbreeding threatens the latter species. A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia, , Peter, Menkhorst, Oxford University Press, 2001,
