It's been going now for about 2 years and everything was going nicely. Until recently when I seem to have been invaded by bandicoots.
I did a rough count today and stopped when the number of freshly dug holes in the lawns and garden beds went over 5 hundred. They're everywhere.
Of course, these wee beasties are protected so anything terminal is not on. But I would be delighted to learn any effective method for discouraging them - or better still encouraging them to emigrate - perhaps to NZ.

Dump the lawn and garden and call it "land for wildlife"... No mowing, no weeding and you get to enjoy sharing the land with the "rightful owners". Fence your trees and call it detente.
