From checking out the shops, you get the distinct impression that the locals all grow their own vegetables and fruit. Certainly this lovely bach we stayed in was set up for vegetable production on a big scale.
Bearing in mind that it was the middle of winter when we visited, only mustard greens were still growing. But the fortressing of the gardens with wire netting and lower ground protection, and netting would imply that there are a few animals and birds that might be interested in helping consume the produce. I would pick possums, maybe rats and stoats and such. You wouldn't think birds would do much damage, but that might explain the roof netting. I noticed other gardens similarly attired, so it must be a regular thing.
