The Australian Trapper

A website for trap collectors from all over the world.

Have a look at our AUSSIE WEBSITE and see how we do things. All the Aussie traps in the photo gallery are rare, the website will show Aussie found traps and English traps as well, if American collectors would like to send me pictures of some rare American traps I would like to include them also. In the HISTORICAL and PICTURE links have a read and see some great pictures about trapping in Australia.
