Hundreds of millions of wild rabbits swept across Australia - and a 2022 genetic study of 187 rabbits shows the invasion came from one shipment of 24 wild English rabbits that reached Thomas Austin's Barwon Park on Christmas Day 1859, after about seventy years of other releases that never spread. We follow the Founders Count from 24 to an estimated 600 million, the fastest spread ever recorded for an introduced mammal (about 100 km a year), the damage in dollars and threatened species, and the Solution Scorecard: a reward nobody claimed, 3,250 km of fences, the myxoma virus that killed over 99% and then stopped working, and the calicivirus strains of 1995, 2017 and RHDV2. Plus the myths - including the '10 billion rabbits' figure with no traceable source.
