Superb fairywren and Banksia marginata One of Australia's favourite birds, the superb fairywren lives in woodlands, grasslands and gardens across much of south-eastern Australia.

Immortalised as small, strange and rather aggressive little men in May Gibbs children’s books, the iconic Australian banksia hold a special place in the hearts of all children (and adults) who have ever visited the world of Cuddlepot and Snugglepie. I, for one, have never been able to look at a banksia without wondering if the curious seedpods are spying on me. Show more
