Thanks all.
Again being rainforest it was very dark. In places it was so dark you had to give your eyes time to adjust ... hence so much flash work in these photos.

JJ, yes they are timid as I mentioned in my first post. I've never been able to get this close to one before. Roo's and wallabies are easy if they used to people but pademelons usually don't seem to get trusting at all.

Gem, definitely not related to rats ... they are part of the marsupial family of macropods which of course includes kangaroos and wallabies. So there you go ... you can love him again.
