Julia Creek is home to the rare and endangered Julia Creek Dunnart (Sminthopsis Douglasi). This tiny bright eyed creature is an insect eating marsupial, found in the Mitchell Grass Downs of North West Queensland. With a body length of 100-120mm and a tail length of 90-100mm, the Julia Creek Dunnart can be distinguished from rats and mice by its size.
