The Bilby Breeding Centre in Charleville offers The Bilby Experience (April to October) or The Up Close and Personal Encounter (all year round) to educate visitors on the plight of this beautiful little creature and the efforts being made to ensure its survival.
We chose to join The Up Close and Personal Experience which is limited to 10 people and conducted on Thursday afternoons at 3 pm. We learnt all about the Bilby, looked at the breeding pens and then were able to get close to the bilby being held by our guide. They are beautiful, timid creatures with a black and white tail. Unfortunately they have been decimated by feral cats in the wild and the work at the Charleville Breeding Centre is vital to their existence. The bilbys bred at this facility are released within a fenced enclosure to help with their survival.
They are wonderful little animals and we were happy support the 'Save the Bilby Fund". I would highly recommend you add this experience to your list when visiting Charleville.
