Wasnt sure whether this should have gone in the bush tucker forum :D
We may not have the Tassie Tiger back but the tree lobster is back from the brink.

Climbing Balls Pyramid is on my bucket list, hope I don't squish one of these guys when I get there...

Wait, either live with filthy, introduced vermin or live with saved from extinction, prehistoric native insects....What's the question here, am i missing something?

Amazing story of survival. It blows you away to realise how desperately a species will cling to life. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the can one day return to Lord Howe!

I swear I read a book based on (finding) these things. Bright Air, that was the name of it!
Good old Australian crime fiction. I would recommend it ;)
