Yes, but why is it inside the sanctuary??

Because rabbits are everywhere they haven't been eradicated from. The Mulligans-Gooroo sanctuary is one of the few rabbit free areas near Canberra

Okay, thanks, for some reason I thought that this Sanctuary was also an area from which they had been removed, and that is why Bandicoots etc were released here. My misunderstanding.
