Mr Bunny and his good friends Alice from Wonderland and the Tree Faerie were invited by the folk at Raine & Horne to visit their offices and then do the rounds of Ocean Shores and Murwillumbah shopping centres with a basket chock full of eggs on Thursday, to the delight of dozens of children and quite a few adults.

While Alice and Mr Bunny hippity-hopped around the shops the Tree Faerie snapped photos of kids having way too much fun with everyone hoping that the chocolate laden Leporidae would find its way to their place on Sunday.
