    As a family going Rabbiting on Saturday & Sunday and earning more money than Dad did in a whole Week.
    We kept about 10 Ferrets and would take them all Ferreting for the two days.
    The Rabbits were not killed when caught but put in the back of a Ute with Loose Hay.
    We also had a big Tandem Trailer that was used for the same purpose.
    My brother and I would kill each night just on dusk. Gut and Pair them.
    The Rabbits were placed on Long Wires strung between Trees and covered with Hessian.
    The Rabbit buyer would collect them each Sunday Night and put our Money in a Tobacco Tin
    hidden under one of the Trees.
    We were paid 2 shillings and six pence (25cents) a Pair.

    It was Hard Work as we worked about 10 hours a Day but we loved every minute of it.
