-Do you remember Allen Strom's lecture on the Fauna Protection Panel several months ago, when Dormie expressed concern lest wxamatosis wipe out our rabbit population - and Roy Bruggy said, 'Tell, in that case, we just import two m.ore"?

 There was a bit of rabbit history in an article on the Keepit Dam Terrain Survey in the Soil Conservation Journal of several months ago. It reads:
-"A census of livestock at Port Jackson in 1788 includes five rabbits, 3 belonging to the Governor. In 1791 an undisclosed number of rabbits came from Cape Town and in 1825 they were reported in hutches, but none was wild. About 1860 they were flourishing on Thomas Hall's estate The Warren", Cooks River, Sydney. At the same time they were becoming established in Victoria and Tasmania. However, they appeared to spread first from Geelong, Victoria, and crossed the Murray into the Riverina and South Australia.

In 1791 an undisclosed number of rabbits came from Cape Town and in 1825 they were reported in hutches, but none was wild. About 1860 they were flourishing on Thomas Hall's estate "The Warren", Cooks River, Sydney. At the same time they were becoming established in Victoria and Tasmania. However, they appeared to spread first from Geelong, Victoria, and crossed the Murray into the Riverina and South Australia.
 In N.S.W. they were mentioned in 1879 when they were numerous on the lower Murray and had become known on the Murrumbidgee as far up as Yanco Creek. In a few years they were approaching Queensland. Even so, there were still many areas untouched in N.S.W. including the whole of the coastal division. In 1885 they were 130 miles from the border of Queensland and N.S.W.
-In 1883 the Rabbit Nuisance Act was passed whereby inspectors were authorised to enter lands and enforce rabbit destruction. Between the years 1883-1890 the N.S.W. Government spent 1,543,000 an rabbit destruction. By this time rabbits were becoming a very serious problem indeed.

 Local inhabitants are of the opinion that rabbits first made their appearance in the Upper Hunter Valley about 1895. From then on they increased rapidly. Destruction of the pest was, and still is, a problem in the Hunter Valley, due to the hilly or mountainous nature of much of the terrain. Rabbits have made a large contribution to the erosion of the Upper Hunter due to their burrows opening the soil and causing gullies, and to the removal of vegetation, aggravating the over-grazed condition of the pasture land."

-Having read Brian Harvey's article, "Have You Ever Been Smitten?" in the October magazine, my answer is NO. I have read similar articles and used to shudder with fear, because there is nowhere a
-safe place when lightning plays, unless one walks around in a wire cage or earthed sphere.... Until I read some more scientific facts. Your chance of being struck dead by lightning is 1 in 100,000 for 1000 years' life span, or 1 in 1,000,000 for 100 years. Even these figures are low! Nevertheless, it is handy to know the medical treatment for lightning stroke.
