I typed a long post but decided to not derail Mick's thread so started a new one.
Quote:
I do have a question about the hares/rabbits, however. Are they hares or rabbits? Are they native to Oz? Do you guys eat them? We about lived off rabbits and squirrels when I was a kid with the occasional quail and rare deer....and fish.
The red fox, are they native or did some soul import them?
I'm amazed anyone has not heard of the Australian rabbit plagues. If you want to see masses of rabbits search those three words. Rabbits were introduced to Australia with British colonists. Escaped and spread by the millions. In the 1950s they literally covered the land in places. In the 1960s or 70s myxomatosis was introduced and killed off huge numbers of rabbits. In the 1989s or 90s calici virus was introduced.
Cut and snipped to a new thread:
