The unadorned rock-wallaby is patchily distributed in coastal ranges from around Rockhampton to near Townsville. This range includes the small range of the Proserpine rock-wallaby (P. persephone ), the only rock-wallaby in the region not closely related to its neighbours. Interbreeding threatens the latter species.
