To add to the list of pests eradicated from Victorian Islands;
Churchill Island  (off Phillip Island) - rabbits were eradicated from this
island a few years ago.
Phillip Island - limited eradication of feral cats, especially around
shearwater nesting colonies. about the same number of cats are being caught
as foxes in the fox eradication program. ie.about 60 for the last couple of
financial years!
