Chocolate wobblie? Do you mean these (odd shaped, heat damaged chocolate bunnies)? http://community-2.webtv.net/klmerritt2/ChocolateWobblies/index.html
http://www.naturebase.net/plants_animals/odd_bilby.html specifically http://www.easterbilby.com.au/ Bilbies are rabbit-like marsupials that have been driven to the verge of extinction by rabbits.
From that first link it says: "Their burrows go down in a steep spiral to a depth of around two metres". There is an extinct marmot-like animal related to beavers that made spiral tunnels about that deep. Now they are finding fosselized tunnels all over the world that they are saying are made by the same creature... I wonder if some were made by ancient bilbies instead... maybe the beaver-like critters are actually squatters.
Here are some links about the fosselized spiral burrows: http://annbat.livejournal.com/1695.html#cutid1
It's all easter. Starts on Friday, ends on Monday, and in there is Easter Sunday. It's just a designated date for those with traditions to follow once a year. We should celebrate every day Christ rising, not following traditions and fixed dates that follow the moon's phases and the Earth's tilt.
Of course, if you really want to get into it, Easter starts on Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of lenten preparation. Then come's the 40-day fast (44 counting Sundays), which leads up through Holy Week. The start of Holy Week is Palm Sunday, which marks the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem for Passover, then the week begins with the withdrawal to Bethesda (this may or may not have been the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus), then the return on Maundy Thursday and the initiation of the Communion Meal on the first night of Passover, the arrest and crucifixion the following day, Saturday in the tomb, the Resurrection on Sunday/Monday (depending on which calendar you are following), another fourty day period of celebration, and finally, Ascention, the day when Jesus gave the Great Commission and entered Heaven.
Bear in mind that Passover has to be on Thursday, because it's schedule is related to the Sabbath. So it makes no sense to me why they should ever be off, especially since Judaism uses the same lunar calendar as Roman Ecclesiasticals.
I also have participated in Passover Seders and I greatly enjoyed the correlation between Jewish symbols and Christian. It's not hard to see why Passover was the chosen time of the crucifixion from a faith standpoint.
Meaning, schmeaning. It's fun to look at the historicity. :)
Ahh, right, I had forgotten that. The triumphal entry happened on Nisan 13, by the Galilean calendar, though they celebrated passover on Nisan 15 of the Jerusalem calendar, which was a day later than that in Galilee.

Easter is a very technical holiday!
