A baby joey has taken its first hops just in time for Australia day at the Australian Reptile Park. 9News

The park's resident yellow-footed rock-wallaby joey, Dorito, was caught on camera taking its first leap out of the pouch.

Dorito had a rough start at life earlier this year as she was rejected by mum, meaning mammal keeper Erica Johnstone had to step up and take up the task of being a new mum.Although small, Dorito has already stolen the hearts of thousands all over the world with an introduction video of her being viewed over 50,000 times.

Dorito is on her way towards growing into a healthy joey and is expected to live a long and happy life at the wildlife sanctuary. Ms Johnstone said "it's always exciting to see a joey you have put so much of your time and effort into happily hopping around". "When we first saw her, we honestly didn't know if she was going to be okay, so it makes me extremely emotional to see her the happiest joey ever," she said.
