Hi @Bidge, you can diagnose a dingo kill by skinning the carcass to expose bruising from bite marks. Failure to remove the skin is likely to lead to mistaken verdicts about cause of death. I am used to kangaroos rather than a wallaby, so the following needs adaptation to this species. I found large male kangaroos had extensive damage to the rump, and lower back. Sub adults typically had a single bite to the upper back which typically broke some ribs. The broken ribs usually punctured the lungs or major blood vessels so the chest cavity was full of blood. Eagles also kill macropods. In that case there is talon damage around the head and puncturing of the cranium.

Wallabia bicolor

Several warrens in the area. Grass looks like City Hill used to be.
