'Ninu' is an aborginal word for bilby. These little guys are an endangered species in Australia. They are marsupials, and are also known as rabbit-eared bandicoots. Being nocturnal creatures, it took some convincing to get Ninu to go walkabout. So now, he'd love to travel and see as much of the big wide world he can before returning to his burrow ! If you are able, please post photos of his journey to his page.
If you'd like more information about the bilby, this is a good reference source:

And, if you ever find yourself at the old Manly Quarantine Station on a night time ghost tour - one of these little fellas may just pay you a visit !!!
Ninu is a miniature bilby figurine with an Aussie travel bug tag attached. trac
