January 15, 2003 Dawning for Dawn It seems Dawn isn’t the only Dawn who wants to save the bilby. Australian swimming legend Dawn Fraser has thrown her support behind the Save the Bilby Fund. “I’m proud to be part of such a vital effort. My little part in the Save the Bilby Fund is to encourage Australians to buy a chocolate bilby rather than a chocolate Easter egg in support of the Save the Bilby Fund this Easter,” says Dawn. “There will be no bunnies in my house this year, only Easter bilbies.” |

March 18, 2003 Williamson Website Launch Australian music legend, John Williamson launched easterbilby.com.au to the media along with a bit of help from Ranger Frank Manthey and chocolate manufacturer Darrell Lea. “Australia
is blessed with a unique animal species but if we don’t protect
our habitat these wonderful creatures will disappear. One very endearing
desert-dweller now facing extinction is the bilby. I am delighted
to lend my support to saving the bilby as it is these very causes
I try to nurture through my songs” says Williamson. To
mark the event, Williamson unveiled a new song dedicated to the
bilby called "The
Easter Bilby".
