A Gallery of Winged Wonders
This beautifully designed poster showcases 57 of Australia's most remarkable bird species, each carefully selected to represent the incredible biodiversity found across the continent. From the iconic laughing kookaburra to the majestic wedge-tailed eagle, the collection serves as both an educational resource and a stunning piece of art.
