YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Queensland government has gifted the Northern Territory government with 35 endangered bilbies bred at Currawinya National Park, south of Cunnamulla. It's one of the largest ever translocations of bilbies – Australia’s last surviving arid bandicoot species. Their new home will be Newhaven Reserve, west of Alice Springs – the world's largest fenced area for threatened species. Over two days the bilbies are trapped in Currawinya, checked by vets and then flown to Hungerford (population 11!) to begin their safe new lives in the Northern Territory.
