We all know the Easter bunny, but did you know that in Australia, rabbits are a pest? In some states, it is even illegal to own a pet bunny. This is why all Australians rely instead on our very own long eared marsupial for our annual chocolate eggs delivery! Bilbo the Easter Bilby has been taking his role very seriously and you can see him carrying his basket of beautifully decorated Easter eggs to distribute around Australia.
