Where in Australia do feral rabbits live?
"Bunny" is a nick-name for "rabbit."
Wild rabbits are a pest animal in Australia. They breed like crazy and eat like crazy, causing damage to crops as well as wild plants. Rabbits were introduced to Australia from Europe in the 19th century. I don't think there are any rabbit species native to Australia.
Many methods of controlling rabbits have been employed in Australia, most famously (or infamously, because it was a spectacular failure), the rabbit-proof fence of 1907. More recently, biological methods have been used whereby diseases like Myxomatosis and RHD are released into the rabbit populations; this method has met with more success than more conventional controls.
Rabbits are also kept as pets in Australia, as they are in many parts of the world.

However, neither Australia nor any other nation has acknowledged recognition of the Province publicly.

Why is the kangaroo and emu so significant to Australia?
The emu and the kangaroo are on the Australian coat of arms, firstly because they are unique to the Australian continent, and secondly because they represent forward progression. Neither animal is believed to be capable of taking a backward step easily. This belief is reflected in the Australian Government website on the Australian Coat of Arms. (see the related link below)
Putting them on the emblem means we "advance Australia" as sung in our national anthem. These creatures symbolise progression forwards. This is supported by the fact that the scroll on the coat of arms originally read "Advance Australia" (now it just reads "Australia").Whether or not the emu can actually walk backwards has been a matter of debate for some time. Whilst there is nothing in the emu's physiological makeup to suggest they cannot walk backwards, the fact remains that no emu has ever been observed to walk backwards.
Many cynics believe this is an urban myth. However, even the Australian Government's website for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade states that "It is thought the kangaroo and emu were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward, reflecting a common belief that neither animal can move backwards easily."
It is pertinent to note that the emu and kangaroo were possibly also chosen because they are the most well known Australian animals that are large enough to hold a shield.
What is the landmark rock formation located in Australia's outback?
This is Uluru, formerly known by its European name of Ayers Rock. Uluru is Australia's and the world's second largest monolith (not the largest, as is commonly thought). It is about 3.6 kilometres in length, but this is difficult to measure as it is an irregular shape, not the oblong-shape it often appears from the ground. Its circumference is 9.4km. Uluru stands 348m (1142ft) high at its highest point and is believed to extend another 2.5 km into the ground.
