	Wallaroo
		A Wallaroo is any of three closely related species of moderately large macropod, intermediate in size between the kangaroos and the wallabies.
		The best-known species is the Common Wallaroo, Macropus robustus, known as the Eastern Wallaroo or just Wallaroo on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range (which runs for more than 2000 miles around the eastern and south-eastern coast of Australia) and as the Euro in most of the rest of the continent.
		There are four subspecies: the Eastern Wallaroo and the Euro, which are both widespread, and two of more restricted range, one from Barrow Island[?], the other from the Kimberley[?].

	Holiday Oz Feature - The Copper Triangle of South Australia, Wallaroo, Moonta and Kadina
		In the early colonial days, when the population of this vast country was very sparse indeed and most of the inland territory was unexplored, a steady trickle of new settlers continued to arrive, mostly a hardy lot, as they needed to be, to create the new colonies from a harsh and unforgiving land.
		In the heyday of the South Australian copper industry, there were major, overseas owned mines at Kapunda, Burra, Wallarroo, Moonta and Kadina where men toiled long hours six days a week in huge mines for their masters.
		The copper, once mined, was smelted before it was shipped to the UK and thus Wallaroo became an important part of the triangle, for it was here that the giant smelter was to be found.
