3. Field Visits

In order to obtain first-hand, information, views and experience, I undertook two field visits:

  • Australia



  • examination of sites of RCD activity in the Flinders Range National Park, South Australia and at Pyalong in Victoria;



  • discussions with officials and scientists from the Bureau of Rural Resources, Department of Primary Industries and Energy, CSIRO, and Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services;
  • South Island



  • examination of rabbit control on farms in the McKenzie Basin, Central Otago, the Maniatoto Plain and North Canterbury



  • examination of habitats of endangered and threatened species and discussions with Department of Conservation staff on predators and their control;




  • discussions with representatives of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust.
