@much2say Once, all our town blocks were a quarter acre but they are now very much less.

@sol_cee No. If we talk to her, we just call her Mrs Roo.

She's not really tame but tolerates us as long as we don't get too close.

She even sleeps with her back to the house so she must feel quite safe. The little rabbits are especially cute.

Yes, that kangaroo looks like he owns the place. I quite like bunnies, only problem is they can decimate a garden in no time flat!

Bunnies are a curse here. They nearly did for our agricultural lands years back until various methods were devised to get them to manageable levels.

@Ronrybs The government built a rabbit proof fence some 3,256 kms long, running from north to south to try to keep the rabbits out of WA. This was back in the 1900s. It didn't work.

@JudyEv I remember reading about it and the phrase rabbit proof fence springs to mind. Introduced species are mostly a curse, but we don't seem to learn

@FayeHazel The aggressive ones (almost always big males) make the news and the YouTube clips but mostly they're very timid. Once the males lose their fear of humans it's a different story.

Nice and cute kangaroo there. Why don't you just buried the dry leaves rather than burnt it?

@anoindo No problem. It's common to burn rubbish here although not so much in the towns. We are out in the country.

I can't imagine digging a big enough hole to bury the leaves. And my back wouldn't allow it. :)

They are lovely and gentle visitors there in your garden

And I have plenty of flowers right now here and I am enjoying birds, bees and butterflies paying a visit. Have not seen monkeys in months and that makes me and my garden happy

I'm glad the monkeys haven't returned. That would be a very foreign occurrence to me. I wouldn't know what to do about them.
