We left Canarvon today and drove about 500 kilometres to get to Charleville. By the time we got there it was about 5 o’clock. We unhitched the caravan at the park, then went back into town to the Bilby place, where we learnt about the Bilbys. Bilbys used to cover around 70% of Australia, but now only about 10%. They are an endangered species because of feral cats and other introduced predators. We saw a short movie on The Bilby Brothers. The Bilby Brothers are two men who fenced an area 25 kilometres square. They raised the money by starting up the tours. We also went out and got to have a look at some of the Bilbys! They take the Bilbys into the enclosure, that they have there in Charleville, from the wild to breed them, then let them go back to the wild. I enjoyed seeing and learning about the endangered Bilbys. After the Bilbys we went to the Corones Hotel for some dinner. It was very yummy!
