Mystery wallaby deaths in Cairns raise poisoning fears

Wildlife rescuers fear that 37 wallabies found dead in Trinity Beach were deliberately poisoned

Almost 40 agile wallabies have been found dead, feared poisoned, during the past week in north Queensland, at a site where their habitat has been destroyed and isolated by housing development.

On Monday morning wildlife rescue volunteers found another four wallabies dead near sporting fields at Trinity Beach, north of Cairns.
