Have you ever seen a mallee emu-wren (Stipiturus mallee)? This sweet little bird is a Triodia spinifex specialist, using the spiky, tussock-forming grass as shelter from predators and a safe site to nest and forage!

The mallee emu-wren was once found across mallee shrublands and heathlands, east and west of the SA–Victoria border, but land-clearing, bushfires and droughts have removed its habitat from much of its former range.

Here are some kangaroo kisses to celebrate World Kangaroo Day! 🧡

Kangaroos are arguably Australia's most recognisable animals, and for good reason! These gorgeous marsupials are widely spread across the continent, and more than 45 kangaroo and wallaby species are found around Australia.

These species are part of a small group of animals called macropods, which means 'big foot' – a perfect way to describe these cuties!

This wombat is making the most of the long weekend in true blue Aussie fashion – with a day at the beach! ☀️

Did you know that wombats sometimes forage on the beach? They will wander the sands, snuffling about for salt marsh plants like samphire!
