In 2018, the Brush-tailed Rock-Wallaby was named the ACT mammal emblem. Tidbinbilla is one of only a few places in the ACT where Brush-tailed Rock-Wallabies can be found. Before the breeding program, the last Southern Brush-tailed Rock-Wallaby was seen in the wild in the ACT in 1959.
The Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby has a characteristic, long, dark tail that is bushier towards the tip. Brush-tailed rock-wallabies have a white cheek-stripe and a black stripe from its forehead to the back of its head. They are highly agile due to their compact, muscular build and their long tail that they use for balancing. Their feet have heavy padding and texture for their natural habitat that includes rocky escarpments, outcrops, caves and cliffs.
