Over the last 12 months 106 cats, 187 foxes and close to 2,000 rabbits have been removed from the coordinated predator control area.

Predators were both trapped and shot with the contractors having had considerably more success trapping cats, with foxes on the other hand much less likely to enter the traps and being considerably easier to shoot.

The photos above show some of the successes likely attributed to the feral control project. The top photo is of a Black-flanked rock-wallaby ranging off the safety of the rock and close to the crop.

This is considered a success as it was previously believed that the wallabies were not comfortable leaving the rocks due to the presence of feral predators.

The bottom image is of a Black-flanked rock-wallaby taken this year. Department of Parks and Wildlife staff were confident that no rock-wallabies remained at this location after they trapped and translocated the last remaining three wallabies in 2014.

The observation of this wallaby is considered a success as it suggests that the individual above may have moved from a nearby population. By removing cats and foxes from private property in the area and other populations moving between, locations have become safer for wallabies.
