Billies used to be widespread throughout Australia, living in a variety of habitats. European settlement, clearing of land for agriculture and the introduction of non-native predators forced the Bilby to move further inland, away from more fertile regions such as Gippsland. Bilbies can no longer be found in the Gippsland area.
