The Rabbit Pest in Northam District
Inspector Wilkereau of the Northam Vermin Board reports rabbits spreading across the Northam Road Board area despite farmer cooperation. In Southern Brook he found dense rabbit activity and notes 98 of 100 bounties previously placed have disappeared. He cites ongoing alarm over rabbit incursions impacting Clackline road residents as a serious issue. Geraldton and provincial neglect are raised by Mr Carson in the Legislative Council, urging the Government to consider West Australia’s interests and a petition to the Federal Government.
