The European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, was the last of the feral mammals to reach Central Australia. The rabbit had reached the N.T. border from NW South Australia in small numbers by 1901 (Murray, 1904a). At the same time it had reached Lake Amadeus and was close to the Cleland Hills (Murray, 1904b). By 1915 it was well established on the Hale River near Aritunga (Day,1916) and by the mid -1920s it had reached the Tanami Desert area (Terry, 1927). In the eastern N.T. the rabbit had probably reached the N.T. along the Georgina River . . . . .
