Road/Trk report for Grampians 23rd March 2012 14-Jul-2013 At 12:08:41 PM gfdonc

Message

Under the heading "Brush-tailed wallaby breeding program outfoxed", The Age today reported that the reintroduction project had been put on hold because foxes keep eating the wallabies.

"In November last year, 17 captive-bred wallabies were released into the Grampians, where they had been extinct since the 1990s. By April .. only five were still alive.

.. a total of 39 wallabies have been released .. only seven have survived."

That's pretty expensive fox food. Perhaps banning human trespass was not helping the process?

Sarcasm aside, it would seem appropriate to raise the access issue with Parks when next you're in dialog with them Tracey.

I look forward to revisiting Eastern Wall in spring after a 30-year break.
