On the Wallaby is short for "on the wallaby track". It simply means one is out wandering the bush and outback of Australia, and not necessarily with any particular destination in mind.
The term was first used by Australian writer Henry Lawson, when he wrote the poem "Freedom on the Wallaby" in 1891.
