Police respond to an unexpected call for assistance on Tuesday morning after a wallaby was spotted crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Officers were called to the bridge just before 5am after the marsupial was spotted in lane eight on the northern side of the bridge. Traffic controllers monitored the wallaby as it hopped across to lane one and exited on to Cahill Expressway then to Macquarie Street. Officers took the animal into police custody near the Conservatorium of Music, with the police mounted unit arriving on scene soon after to take it to Taronga zoo for veterinary assessment. It’s thought the wayward wallaby might have made its way to the bridge from a golf course in Cammeray
