Bruny Island, just a short ferry ride off the South-East coast of Tasmania, is home to white wallabies. Some are white due to a genetic mutation and others are albinos. All are a variant of the Bennett's Wallaby, Tasmania's version of the Red-necked Wallaby.
I recently visited Bruny Island and I hoped to see the white wallabies. Staying in Adventure Bay on South Bruny, we were pointed to Hayden Street, a small side street, where it was said they hung out. No luck, but on the morning we were leaving, we spotted one in a ditch.
It was a small one and probably not too happy as there had been rain overnight.
You can see my previous post on a big Bennett's Wallaby for comparison.
When it realized I wasn't a threat, it went back to feeding but took off suddenly when a dog barked.
Look at it go!
Then one last pose and it was gone.
