CC, one of the latest chapters in the Australian rabbit fiasco involves the deliberate introduction of a couple of extremely contagious and frequently lethal diseases into the feral rabbit population. They have helped to some extent, but of course, rabbit populations can build up resistance, just like anything else. And you get sad situations like one that played out here in Other Pets and Livestock; a girl bought a rabbit as a pet, and it died a few weeks later of Myxomatosis.

When we moved onto our 1000 acre sheep farm, we had a summons issued from the pasture protection board to abate the rabbits. It was estimated we had 2 million of them, We had wiped out 1 millionm in 6 weeks with 1080 poison. we then gassed a few hundred thousand by filling in their holes and dropping in a WMD equivalent,

Mixy was a godsend. We were one of the release sites.

Looking back, it was brutal but it really was war. I would be less of a fan of mixy now days.

Other big problems were prickly pear cactus, blackberries, lantana, foxes and of course the dreaded cane toad.
