Who’s ready for an update on the latest “rock-cruits” to Little River Gorge? We’ve been nervously waiting to find out how the five captive-bred Brush-tailed Rock-wallabies (BTRW) have fared after their release into the wild in July 2025 (translocated from Mt Rothwell).

Wildlife Unlimited, DEECA and Parks Victoria field crews collected remote cameras from release sites in December, which have been monitoring the movements of the newcomers during their first few months.

All of the five released BTRW have successfully survived in the wild for at least two months post-release, with two being detected as recently as December (four months).
