Image of Piglet
Image of bunny no moreLast Thursday morning, like I'm really talking about morning, as in 3.50am, we drove down to Kyogle station to pick up our friend, Michael, aka Piglet, who endures an 11 hr train trip to reach the sanctuary of maryville, every six months or so. Unfortunately, the train was running late so we sat at Kyogle station car park for half an hour or so waiting for the train (with Piglet) to arrive. After we'd packed Piglet away in the Suzuki we trundled back down the deserted main street of Kyogle heading home. A couple of kms outside of town, just before the Murwillumbah Road turnoff, we all sighted a cute little bunny rabbit on the left hand side of the road. 'Aw look at the...thud, thud, squelch'. Silly rabbit, should have been content to stay by the road and not leap out in front of me at 4 in the morning when my reaction time is not the best.
The distribution of rabbits is interesting in our area. Judging by roadkill, they occur in the Rock Vally, about 10kms from our place, and also in the Kyogle area (judging by my own recent contribution to roadkill) but so far we have not sighted any on our property. Calici virus, anyone?
