This rock-wallaby lives among rocky places in eastern Cape York Peninsula. Its gray-brown back, pale facial stripe, and silvery-looking tail tip help identify it.
The back is gray-brown, with paler sandy-brown to buff fur elsewhere. A pale cheek stripe and a stripe down the middle of the head continue onto the upper back; the tail tip often appears silvery.
By day it shelters in rock piles or vine thickets, then emerges in the afternoon to feed in nearby woodland, grassland, or vine thickets.
