Well done Chris

The feral animal problem is really getting out of control - everywhere.
Bandicoots have been extincted in just the last generation in my area, the antechinus mouse is heading that way (haven't seen one for 9 years), last Echidna I sighted was about 7 years ago
All the small mammals get exterminated first - they are just being decimated every day - it saddens me.

Contrast that to the last 2 foxes sighted - only last week, feral cats and various other ferals everywhere
We even have feral goats within 2kms of the suburbs of Adelaide - less than 10kms from the centre of the CBD !

I counted (by approximation of mobs) 2500 goats just off along the Barrier highway earlier this year in just 4 hours !

But its not just in the outback, even the Alpine National Park is full of wild dogs these days - its probably only a matter of time before a pack of them chews up some innocent bushwalker.
My last bushwalk through was almost scary.

The Government really needs to do something.
