Thanks for the info Don, I forgot to ask it if it was staying or not. But yes, it will be interesting to see if they move in. I was very surprised, partly because it's so close to inner urban area, but as you point out and on checking the map, there's quite a few of them to be found to the west, inside Canberra.

Hi @JRCNM yes this is the first record in Nature Mapper of a Black Wallaby there. There are resident populations nearby on Isaacs Ridge and Red Hill with relatively easy access to Callum Brae. Over the decades, Eastern Greys and Wallaroos have slowly occupied more and more areas in Canberra. Likewise, I expect one day there will be a small populatoin of Black (Swamp) Wallabies at Callum Brae. Is this the beginning of that, or just a temporary visit?

G'day @jamattymoo you need to fix the GPS location of this sighting.

Hi @JanetRussell, are you able to correct the location? Or do you want me to do that? These are the coordinates of a grassy yard that I picked in Flavel Ave Woodforde: -34.901465, 138.690361 ie slightly further north and 10.5 degrees further west than Reid.

The coordinates are wrong. The kangaroo does not visit Reid. It was sighted at Flavel St at Woodforde in South Australia.
