Looking for advice on seeing Greater Bilby et al. in southern Australia (SA+WA)
Hi good people, I’m planning a roadtrip in December going from Adelaide to Perth. Does anyone know of a realistic place in that region to see Greater Bilby? Other than that, top of my wishlist is to see Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby, Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat, Numbat, Honey Possum, and Chuditch. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. On my itinerary so far are Brookfield, Flinders Range, Dryandra, Perup, and Cheyne’s Beach. Best regards, Mogens Trolle

Mogens. You have picked all the spots I would pick for those species. I’m not aware of any Bilbies anywhere near where you will be. Deep outback Queensland seems to be the spot for those now and they are far from easy. But they used to have bilbies in an exclosure at Dryandra. I’m not sure if they still have them. You could also check out the Arid Recovery center at Roxbury Downs about 3 hours or so north of port Augusta. I think they have captive species in wild type exclosures and should have some good stuff. Maybe bilbies, chuditch and more.
