I live in a country area in North East Victoria and want to start a veggie

which do not appear to work anyway, does anyone have a method to keep them
away from the veggie garden.

Shooting is not an option.

Another idea-

I notice that our moggie triggers the infrared sensor on the security
light over our back stairs, so I expect that a rabbit would do so, too.
It should be possible to guard your plot with a couple of these sensors,
and arrange it that instead of powering light bulbs for 5 minutes when
triggered, it turns on a hissing sprinkler, or rattles a can, or drops a
rubber snake, or bursts a balloon or does something else that will
frighten off any hare-brained intruder.

But haven't your kids been pestering you for ferrets for Christmas ...?
