The Eastern Hare-wallaby inhabited the south-east of Australia and more than likely became extinct towards the end of the nineteenth century.

During the day the Eastern Hare-wallaby slept in it shelter which it excavated under large tussocks, and foraged at night.

When disturbed it would run in a zig-zag hare-like manner often making prodigious leaps of 1.8 metres or more.

Nothing is know of its diet or reproductive biology.
