In the 1890s, Australia faced an ecological catastrophe: millions of rabbits, descended from a single shipment in 1859, devastated farmland and native landscapes. This episode follows the rabbit-proof fences, poison campaigns, and biological warfare attempt with myxoma virus, and explores the Rabbit Destruction Act of 1886 and the rise of doggers and trappers. We meet amateur naturalist Charles Lane, who proposed myxomatosis decades before its success, and consider the rabbit's legacy in shaping Australian environmental policy. A story of unintended consequences, desperate measures, and the beginnings of conservation thinking. #Rabbits #AustralianHistory #EcologicalDisaster #RabbitPlague #Myxomatosis #RabbitProofFence #ColonialAustralia #PestControl #EnvironmentalHistory #FexingoHistory #History #19thCentury #Agriculture #InvasiveSpecies #WesternAustralia #NewSouthWales #Victoria #Fencing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
