The Bilby brothers
Description
A charming award winning film from Australia about their endangered rabbit-eared marsupial called the bilby, and the 'sweet' idea devised by a ranger and a biologist to help raise money for a bilby sanctuary, and have single-handedly turned the tables on an almost extinct species. Their 'sweet idea' got the whole country involved. Now chocolate Easter Bilbies outsell Easter Bunnies by 8-1! Darrell Lea contributes a percentage of sales to the Bilby Fund, and the sanctuary has been built thanks to the chocolate-eating Australian public.
