Police track the wallaby over the Sydney Harbour Bridge
A wayward wallaby hops across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Dr Eldridge said just as people find it hard to get off freeways, animals such as wallabies can also find themselves trapped by human-built barriers.
After a prolonged pursuit, the marsupial was eventually caught on the Cahill Expressway, near the Sydney Conservatorium.
Nick Farr-Jones spent his life tackling for the Wallabies, but never quite like this.
Mr Farr-Jones was driving to work on Tuesday morning when he saw police cars stopped on the Harbour Bridge.
Once he was told there was a wallaby on the loose, he did what he could to help.
"It's unprecedented trying to grab a hold of a kangaroo on the Harbour Bridge", Farr-Jones said. "I only see them in the country", she added.

"When police arrived, the wallaby refused to obey police directions and initially evaded police", Smith joked.
The rugby legend helped round up the animal, which was taken to Taronga Wildlife Hospital by mounted police, where it remains under observation.
"I was in the middle of the bridge and things were going slow up front".
Vision of the male swamp wallaby on the bridge has appeared in the Mirror in the UK, TIME magazine, the South China Morning Post and the widely read German-language news website, Spiegel Online - to name a few.
A rogue wallaby made headlines across the world after it was spotted hopping down one of Australia's most recognisable landmarks, the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
A caller to Sydney radio 2GB said the wallaby was just minding his own business. 'More and more of these wallabies are turning up in bush land close to the city, ' he said.
He was given pain medication and fluids and is in Taronga's Wildlife Intensive Care Unit for recovery and further monitoring before being returned to the wild.
