Record numbers of native marsupials have been spotted across the state this year, including the endangered bilby.
Rangers from the Department of Environment and Science recorded 471 bilbies at Astrebla Downs National Park in far-west Queensland last month.
Senior parks and wildlife ranger Barry Nolan says the boom among various marsupial populations at Astrebla Downs was due to a combination of good rain and a successful feral cat control program.
The national recovery team for the bilby hopes to increase the marsupial's wild population to 10,000.
