Southern Right Whale
Named as “the right whale to kill” because it was so easy and profitable to hunt, this species is slowly recovering from near extinction. An individual pattern of callosities (lumps of encrusted skin) marks the face of each gentle giant.

Gecko
This nocturnal insectivorous creature makes a delightful sound like kissing. It has the entertaining ability to walk up glass windows and run upside down across ceilings using special gripping scales on each toe.

Australian Pelican
This well-loved bird is familiar in coastal and inland waterways all over Australia catching fish with its enormous bill and throat-pouch. Spirits rise at the sight of a pelican gracefully gliding lower and lower then skiing to a halt in a spray of water.

Gouldian Finches
In the northern tropics flocks of these brilliantly coloured native Australian finches feed in the grass and nest in hollows in trees or termite mounds. Sadly, grazing and changed fire regimes are endangering the species.

Moorish Idols
The striking appearance of Moorish Idols contributes to the astonishing patterns and vivid colours seen on tropical reefs such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Frog in the Sky
The Red-eyed Tree Frog Litoria chloris lives in rainforests and other wet places along Australia’s east coast. This nocturnal species hides high in tree foliage except at breeding time during Spring and Summer rains when male choruses call from ponds and puddles.

Dolphins
What can be more uplifting than to witness playful dolphins, our intelligent cousin mammals of the sea, leaping and cavorting in aqua waves?

Blue Butterfly ( Ulysses)
What a delight it is to glimpse the sudden flash of brilliant blue as this very large butterfly weaves its way through the upper canopy of tropical Australian rainforest! Its fast and erratic flight is possibly to confuse predator birds.
