The Mareeba Rock-wallaby (Petrogale mareeba) is a species of rock-wallaby found in northeastern Queensland, Australia. It is a member of a group of seven very closely related species which also include the Cape York Rock-wallaby (P. coenensis), the Unadorned Rock-wallaby (P. inornata) and the Allied Rock-wallaby (P. assimilis).
The Mareeba Rock-wallaby is found in the highlands west of Cairns from around Mount Garnet to the Mitchell River and Mount Carbine, and inland to Mungana.[2]
