As its name suggests, the yellow-footed rock wallaby's habitat is among rocky outcrops in the semi-arid country of South Australia and New South Wales. They are found among rocky outcrops ranging from sandstones, limestones and conglomerates in the Flinders Ranges, to granites in the Gawler Ranges and Olary Hills.
Research indicates they prefer favour south-facing cliff-lines in South Australia because there is more shelter from the sun and hence abundant vegetation. In their New South Wales habitat they prefer east or northeast facing sites for the same reason.
