They're hares. Kind of a bigger, rangier type of rabbit, commonly found in any number of countries - including Australia. They aren't quite as prodigious when it comes to breeding as rabbits, and as such aren't nearly as high on the pest list, but they often get caught up anyway in attempts to control the rabbit population as they look so similar to rabbits.
It could be Australia, but one couldn't make a definitive guess based on the animal alone.
