- productDescription:
- <p>In 1950, the CSIRO released the myxoma virus to combat Australia’s rampant rabbit population, in trials at five locations along the Murray River. The release was a huge success: within days, the myxomatosis disease had spread throughout the Murray River region, ultimately decimating Australia’s wild rabbit population in the following years. These trials had significant benefits for Australia’s agricultural and pastoral industries that had been devastated by rabbit overpopulation for decades.</p>

- <p>Caroline Chisholm was a pioneering humanitarian who fought to improve conditions for immigrant women and families. After discovering the NSW Government had no system to support new immigrants, Caroline met every incoming ship to offer help with employment and accommodation. The cottage on Mill Street is one of two terraced dwellings that Caroline converted into an immigrant hostel. Known as Caroline Chisholm Cottage, it is believed to be the nation’s only surviving site of her charitable works. In honour of her tireless contribution, her face was featured on our first five-dollar note.</p>
