G'day Reg,

Ahhh, that's amazing.  Those of us outside Oz just have no appreciation
for what a major problem that was.  From 24 wild rabbits released at
Barwon Park by Thomas Austin in 1859 you went to being plagued by billions
& billions by just the early 1900's.  The little buggers were going at it,
well, like rabbits.  8-))

Makes you wonder how many people died accidentally from exposure to
cyanide gas during those rabbit killing campaigns.

Thanks for the info mate!!

See ya,  Arnie
