The Spectacled Hare Wallaby Was Saved by the Use of a Hydrogen Bomb
by
Steve Challis
The spectacled Hare Wallaby is common on Barrow Island. In the 1950's the area was recognised as being likely to contain oil. In the 1950's there were few mining controls and an oil company wanted to drill on the island. The nature reserve classification was not sufficient to protect the island. Exploitation was delayed by the use of atomic and thermonuclear weapons. Now more environmental controls are in place.

Rainforest Animals - Swamp Wallaby
by
Tony Mandarich
Swamp Wallaby, Scientific Name: Wallabia bicolor. The swamp wallaby is a marsupial of relative abundance in Australia. It is also known as the black wallaby, and, in more colloquial terms, as the Stinker. The Aboriginal people of the Bundjalung Nation considered this furry creature to be inedible due to its smell and taste when cooked. The swamp wallaby prefers the habitat of thick forest undergrowth and sandstone heath.

by
Steve Challis
The Tasmanian Pademelon, Thylogale billardierii, used to be found in parts of South Australia and Victoria, but is now confined to Tasmania. It is likely that both the Tree Kangaroos and the Rock Wallabies evolved from a species in the Pademelon group.

Why Follow a Leader When You Can Follow Nobody?
by
Daniel Carmichael
As a Rugby Union player, John Eales was without peer in his position and was widely regarded as one of the best players in the world throughout his career. As a testament to his ability, he was nicknamed 'Nobody' because Nobody is perfect! And although Eales was one of the finest to ever grace a rugby paddock, it was his ability to lead and inspire that earned him the loyalty and admiration of his teammates, the respect of the opposition, and helped define his true greatness in the game.

A Large Ferocious Head
by
David Bunch
Many domestic dogs and cats that have reverted to the wild are also located in Tasmania and they prey upon the same diminishing wildlife that the wolf uses for its subsistence. Lack of food, diseases transferred to the wolf by stray domestic animals, and trappers are all factors that caused this animal to become increasingly scarce. If more protection was offered by game wardens in keeping trappers out of protected areas, and also in destroying stray domestic animals, the future of the Tasmanian wolf might be more secure.

Why Kangaroos Are Called Kangaroos?
by
Steve Challis
When I was a child in England, we were taught that when the Europeans of Captain Cook's expedition saw kangaroos, Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist, asked the native people what the name of that animal was. The people of Australia did not understand English, so they said, in their own language, "I do not understand you." The English heard the word as "Kangaroo" and thought that this referred to the animal they were asking about. So the name Kangaroo stuck.
