My daughter is heading for Europe later this year and was asking what would be something purely Australian she could take for a gift. I said, "chocolate bilbies!" When I first came here, I loved that they did bilbies instead of bunnies, purely because I think the Australian natives should be better incorporated into the traditional celebrations. I didn't know they #Wee connected with RFA though.

As much as I agree that rabbits are a problem there are much more humane methods of dealing with them than the germ warfare that RFA promotes. Ask anyone whose beloved pet has died from myxomatosis what a cruel way to die it is. It also doesn't work to eradicate them as decades on they are still throwing virus after virus at them.

Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant!
