Wallabys give birth to a joey about the size of a kidney bean. The joey crawls up a trail that the mother licks on her belly up into the pouch. The joey crawls into the pouch and attaches to a nipple and remains in the pouch for several months. Wallabys belong to the Marsupials. That group includes kangaroos, opossums, koalas, wombats and some other species found in Australia.

Yes. Wallabies are marsupials (and mammals), and all marsupials give birth to live young, even though the young are very undeveloped. Monotremes are the only mammals which lay eggs, rather than giving birth to live young, and the only monotremes are the platypus and the echidna.

No; wallabies are marsupials, not monotremes. They are pouched mammals that give birth to live young.
