Previously unremarkable paddocks, these two trial sites were now the only places in mainland Australia where bandicoots were living outside specially designed predator-proof fences.
Partners in the Zoos Victoria bandicoot project present at the release included the University of Tasmania, Phillip Island Nature Parks and Parks Victoria. Bandicoots are prolific diggers, and their work helps seed germinate and improves soil health and the vegetation around them. The trial site near the Grampians is owned by the Dunkeld Pastoral Company, and conservation manager Hayley Glover said she was excited to see what the bandicoots did."If we can get a whole lot of critters running around doing the job for us, wouldn't that be fantastic?"The paddock where the bandicoots, dogs and sheep coexist was not bare, small bands of scrub and trees have been planted and the grass was lush.
Ms Glover believed important discussions around fox control and conservation will arise from the project.
