Since CBGs were introduced to Maria Island in 1968-71 and have bred
successfully, I would say that they are tickable.  The species is already on
the official Australian list, so the question is whether it should be
regarded as a successful introduction to Maria Island - which it evidently
is.  However, I do not have recent information on the size or viability of
the population.

Cheers,  Hugo.
