SOUTHERN BROWN BANDICOOT
"Living life in the fast lane"

This friendly, solitary marsupial omnivore has a backwards-facing pouch that prevents it from being filled with dirt when digging for food.

Amazingly, they are weaned at 2 months, can breed at 3 months and, after a short 12-day gestation period, can produce up to 5 young per litter.

The CANNING STOCK ROUTE

is one of the most remote and isolated 4WD tracks in the world and travellers should be extremely well prepared before undertaking this 1,900 km trek through the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts.

In 1859, 24 rabbits were released on a property near Victoria and were soon spreading across Australia at a speed of up to 100 kilometres per year in plague proportions.

By 1894, they crossed the Nullarbor Plain to the WA border and a decision was made to protect agriculture in the west.

Still in use today but mainly as an emu barrier.
