Indeed within 30 years of their introduction, that plague was literal. Stock numbers dramatically declined and settlers were forced off their land while thousands of hectares of Central Otago were abandoned to the fluffy-tailed interloper. As in rural Australia, this invasive species was spectacularly successful at colonising the land of the colonisers.
