Maze: The correct path follows the green trail from Bilba's burrow (top left) down and across to the eggs (bottom right).
Talking points for grown-ups
- Did you know the real greater bilby is Australia's own "Easter Bunny"? Some Australians even celebrate Easter with chocolate bilbies instead of rabbits, to help raise awareness for this endangered native animal.
- Bilbies are nocturnal — they sleep by day and come out at night to dig for food. Why do you think Bilba met the Bunny in the evening?
- Real bilbies dig burrows up to 3 metres long to stay safe and cool. What do you think it would be like to live underground?
