Hi Gil, If you mean those Aussie possums that climb up power poles and short them out then yes, you can have 'em back. NZ is trying to cope with the possums (they brought in to NZ from Oz and have become a pest there) through all sorts of stratagems to get their numbers down such as spinning their fur for clothing. Sorry about the trout. Guess the acclimatisation societies of the 19th century wanted to bring everything from "home" (whether Europe or America) to the colonies. NZ even imported moose and elk (correctly known as wapiti down under), which fortunately never became the pests that European red deer did. The deer caused terrible erosion problems on NZs steep volcanic soils.
