Tame and was odd to see them hanging around as a big group. They were in a rocky gorge. Petrogale mareeba - wouldn’t come up in the identification list.

Looks like they are hand-fed there! https://visitathertontablelands.com/atherton-tablelands-things-to-do/granite-gorge/

Thanks Helen, that explains why they jumped over to us. Was nice to see them up close.
