Originally the Parma Wallaby inhabited a large area of bush and tropical rainforest in the Eastern part of New South Wales. Its range is now restricted to a small area in Eastern NSW and the small island of Kawau, off New Zealand, where they were imported at the end of last century.  Thought to be extinct for many years they were re-discovered in 1966 and are now a protected species.  Parma Wallabies are most at home in Rainforest and scrub grassland habitats.
