The Cosmos Centre by day was much more exciting with heaps of interactive fun. We learnt that we are very very small in the universe and even got to hold a meteorite.That night we went to see the bilbies. These cute little fellows are an endangered species because of the feral cats and foxes so the Bilby Centre in Charleville was set up to raise money to save the Bilby by two men. Peter and Frank spend there life saving Bilbies and raised enough money to build a 5km square fence in outback QLD to protect the Bilby and let them grow in numbers. We saw a Video of an episode of Australian Story that told the two mens story and then went outside in the dark to see some Bilbies in a cage. Samuel got a Bilby he called Bumble.
