Bilby triplets have made their first public appearance in Ipswich this week, just in time for the school holidays and Easter.

The three-month old bilbies, born at the Ipswich Nature Centre, are the first set of triplets the centre has ever had.

The female joeys are also the first bilbies born at the centre for two years - their father, Frankie, was one of those born back then.

A council spokeswoman also said it was rare for the triplets to all be female.
