As the sign suggests, this outback outpost represents the almost extinct bilby's last stand.
Security is tight here.
It is extremely cute - and extremely rare. Mr McRae estimates there are 600 to 700 bilbies living in Queensland today. In Western Australia and the Northern Territory, the bilby's other habitats, numbers are very low. Since European settlement, bilbies have been victims of the practice of earth clearing and the activities of introduced animals such as the feral cat, the rabbit and the fox. Mr McRae has studied the lifestyle of the bilby for 10 years.
