Yeah, the dingos were calling intermittently so I took a short recording. Background sound is the people talking - I recorded the audio at a campground.

Or get a dog on a tether line to spend the night in the park and encourage people to walk their dogs through the park and move dog droppings into the park.

If you are unlucky, one hare can snip off hundreds of seedlings in a night without eating them. I dont know why they do that. So one bad hare can be worse than several rabbits. Until you get tree guards or fencing done, shooting is probably not an option in the streets of Aranda. As for trapping, they are generally careful, wary animals, so I have never heard of anyone trapping one, but it might be worth a try anyway, hoping you get lucky. If so, I'd work hard at it. Get the tallest cage trap you can, so the ears of the hare cant touch the top. Wash all scent off the trap and other gear and wear gardening gloves (with smells of dirt and plants on them) for handling EVERYTHING. Use a variety of succulent plant materials as bait and cross your fingers a lot.

Ring Tailed Poss is also in area but its dental arch appears more rounded (wider in relation to length) and its upper jaw does not have large gaps between teeth 3 to 6, as seen here, which are typical of Trichosurus.
