Wallabies are native to Australia, where they are found in all of the states and both territories, including the island state of Tasmania. Many species live in bushland, but there are also numerous varieties especially suited to rocky hillsides.
Wallabies are actually grouped according to the habitat in which they live, so there are swamp wallabies, brush wallabies, and rock wallabies.
Swamp wallabies inhabit fairly flat bushland areas which are reasonably open, unlike the brush wallaby which prefers more closed forest, with denser undergrowth. Rock wallabies are especially suited to rocky hillsides and mountainsides, including open rock faces. Rock wallabies may inhabit areas where vegetation is sparse and the rocky hillsides are bare, or they may be found in thickly rain forested hillsides of North Queensland: again, it depends on the species. Unfortunately, this is one of the reasons why certain species of rock wallaby are so vulnerable - wedgetail eagles and other Birds of Prey take advantage of the wallabies when they are out on the rocky, bare hillsides, readily swooping in for an easy meal.
Wallabies have also been introduced to other countries such as New Zealand and Scotland.

Wallabies are also found in the mulga and mallee scrublands of the outback. The various species of swamp wallabies tend to be found in bushland closer to settled areas, and in coastal regions.
When can wallabies live on their own?
It depends on the species, but generally, wallabies are independent from about nine months old.
Do wallabies live in the prairie?
No. There are no "prairies" in Australia. Australia has some grasslands, but wallabies tend not to live in those areas.Many species of wallabies live in bushland, but there are also numerous varieties especially suited to rocky hillsides.Wallabies are actually grouped according to the habitat in which they live, so there are shrub wallabies, brush wallabies,and rock wallabies.Shrub wallabies inhabit fairly flat bushland areas which are reasonably open, unlike the brush wallaby which prefers more closed forest, with denser undergrowth. Rock wallabies are especially suited to rocky hillsides and mountainsides, including open rock faces.
Which rock-wallabies live in which kind of rock habitats?
Rock wallabies like to live in steep and very rocky places so they can get away from predators easily.
How long do wallabies live for?
Depending on the species, wallabies live for an average of 12-18 years. External factors such as predators and cars certainly reduce a wallaby's lifespan.
Why do swamp wallabies live in the swamp?
They don't. Swamp wallabies are found in the eastern and southern areas of Australia. They live in bushland with plenty of grassy understorey, and brigalow scrubland.
How does a wallaby adapt to desert life?
Wallabies do not live in the desert, and therefore do not need to adapt to desert life. Wallabies live primarily in scrub and open bushland, or in rocky, hilly areas.
