Ungulate in Great Otway National Park

We saw three light coloured ungulates (can't think of a better word) bounding away as we drove past in Anglesea Heath/Great Otway National Park in southern Victoria. Is it a goat? A shorn sheep? Or a deer of some sort? This is the best pic we could manage.

      Looks like a fallow deer maybe?

      Definitely a deer, but I don't know what sort they have feral down there, especially that colour.

      Monty will probably know.

      Ungulate......

      There are white Fallow in the Dorset, UK population, so they could have the same in Oz.

      I'm completely sure that is a white Fallow Deer (Dama dama) since the same moment I saw the photo.

      I was at Houghton Hall in Norfolk last month, they have a vast herd of dear and nearly every fallow is white or very pale, just like this one. Incidently they also had Pere Davids deer too.

      Fallow dear it is then. Cheers!

      I can only confirm it is a white fallow deer!
