  Pegged rabbit skins in foreground, possum skins in background. During the Depression Eric and Bob trapped rabbits and possums for the skins. 60-70 rabbit traps were set each night. Possums were either shot by moonlight or snared. Possum skins were worth about 3/- and rabbit skins about 6d-9d per pound. There were about six good skins to pound or 8-9 mediocre ones - Near Manildra, NSW
