Wallabies shot dead in north Qld town THREE wallabies have been shot dead in a popular town park in northwest Queensland. Council staff found the animals at Mary Kathleen Memorial Park in Cloncurry, 120 kilometres east of Mount Isa, on Tuesday morning. Police say they were likely shot overnight. Each wallaby was killed with a single gunshot. Detective Sergeant Bob Guteridge told AAP he's disturbed by the killings, especially given that the animals are protected. "We have no idea why someone has done this," he said. The fact that someone just blatantly shot these things in the park and because they're such a tiny animal the shots have gone right through them. Det Sgnt Guteridge says it's also concerning that someone walking through the park could have been hit by the bullets. Police want to speak to anyone who has any information about the incident.
