Abstract
IN 1982, the Queensland subspecies of the blackfooted
rock-wallaby Petrogale lateralis purpureicollis
was reported to occur around Mt Isa and south to
around Dajarra (Briscoe et al. 1982). During 1991, the
known range of this taxon was extended 300 km to
the north-west when an adult female P. l.
purpureicollis was collected from ?Ridgepole
Waterhole? in the Musselbrook Resource Reserve
near Lawn Hill National Park (Eldridge et al. 1993). In
1994 the range was further extended when P. l.
purpureicollis was recorded from the Constance
Ranges and the upper reaches of Stockyard and
Elizabeth Creeks; around the town of Cloncurry and
the following distances from the town: 85 km north
west; 60 and 87 km west; 4, 23, 28 and 35 km south
and 15 km east (Bell et al. 1995). Approaches by the
Cannington Mining operation to the southwest of
McKinley in October 1999 to confirm the presence
of rock-wallabies on nearby Glenholme Station
established the presence of P. l. purpureicollis; a 75
km range extension to the south-east.
