 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: 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 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 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 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." Local inhabitants are of the opinion that rabbits first made their appearance in the Upper Hunter Valley about 1895.

 The one-time coach road down Meryla Pass is in quite good condition, and makes easy walking. About 3/4-mile past the ford of Yarrunga Creek, we followed a side track down to the Kangaroo, which we crossed just below the junction of Yarrunga Creek. We followed down the south-east bank of the Kangaroo (the easiest bank as far as Bundanoon Creek), and camped at the junction of Kangaroo with Shoalhaven, having made about 13 miles for the day. The one-time coach road down Meryla Pass is in quite good condition, and makes easy walking.

 The following day we went down the Shoalhaven. Going for the first 1/2-mile on the north bank was bad, and we then crossed. Recommend crossing the rivers near the junction, and keeping to the southern bank of the Shoalhaven, which gives the best going most of the way. In all, we made six crossings to obtain the best going, but this would be influenced by the state of the river. At the beginning of August there had been three months of drought, but we could see debris thirty or forty feet above our heads in trees. After wet weather it is doubtful if the trip could be made, as the north bank of the Shoalhaven is the rougher. Provided the crossings can be made it is quite attractive walking over agreeable flats, with honeycombed cliffs, several hundred feet in height, rising on both sides of the valley. Crossings become less frequent after passing the junction of Yalwal Creek. We camped about 1/2-mile up Budgong Creek on the Sunday night, with about 12 miles covered for the day. The following day we went down the Shoalhaven.

-Well, members of S.D.W. - you can see that dinghy transport is now quite the thing - so what about it. The crew of RJ.1AB LOVERDUCK will challenge any other crew, in a similar type craft, to a race from Bimlow to the Nepean River, via the Warragamba River. But, before you take up this challenge, remember you must have certain qualifications. Firstly, a craft similar to RAAB LOVERDUCK - a crew of bright, brainy, breezy boys and girls - but most of all, each crew member must be a Prize ratbag.+
