The Maffra Historical Society published quite an extensive article in its quarterly Bulletin by Allan Greaves about the bunny (or "underground mutton") and how it helped survival during the Depression. The Bulletin is distributed to a number of fellow Societies throughout Gippsland and may be available. The issue in question is Number 49 (June 1986). Those of you following the Weekly Times's series on "Our land: Our century" may have seen the front of Part 4 which illustrates very well the place of the rabbit. You may even have spotted an "interview" with Allan on page 101. Yours, Jeremy Look me up at www.maffra.net.au/jjbpage.htm
