New ‘Kingfishers of Australia’ design
This colourful design celebrates Australia’s 10 species of kingfisher, including 2 species of kookaburra. (In case you’re wondering, the Laughing Kookaburra is the kookaburra species familiar to most people, and the one with the ‘laughing’ call. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lives in Northern Australia, and has a call that’s been described as ‘appalling’. You may think that’s unfair until you hear a group of Blue-winged Kookaburras settling down for the night, and mistakenly think it’s a raucous pack of demons.)
This design is now available as an Organic Cotton Tea Towel and a Postcard.

Happily evaporating in the mangroves
The mangrove kingfisher looked thin - its feathers were flattened against its body. It sort of drooped on the branch. Tail down, beak open, wings held away from the body. And see the wobbly end of its beak? That's not really what the bird looked like, that's me. Hands...
Wonders of Western Australia
This morning, I'm feeling a bit sad that I'm not in Freemantle, Western Australia. The opening sessions have just started at the Ecological Society of Australia's annual conference, with a buzz of ecologists: old and young; enthusiastic and weathered; well-published...
Binna Burra in the springtime
The forest is full of birdsong and insects are buzzing on high. The trees are flushing new growth: so much bright, young, green. It lights up the darkness of the rainforest. A white-browed scrubwren hops along the forest floor from twig to fallen twig. Close to me,...
A sublime scarp in a country of coal
The Blackdown Tablelands lie between Rockhampton and Emerald, in central Queensland. We stopped there on the way up to Bimblebox Nature Refuge last month, and this is what I wrote. The coal trains wind their way across the land like black chains, heavy....
Animals need trees
Many people consider themselves animal-lovers. Every day, strangers in the street exclaim at how gorgeous my two dogs are, and ask for a pat. Cat videos easily go viral on social media. Baby farm animals in petting pens are often the most popular attraction at...
Drawing on Queensland’s present to recreate New Zealand’s past
This story starts and ends with a duck. It also includes volcanoes, subtropical rainforest, an idyllic lake and a team of dedicated scientists. But let’s begin with the duck. I met the duck in Germany, in 2008. The lovely Ray, my palaeobotanist partner, was...
