Back in 2018 I spent some winter weeks exploring the habitat of the Southern Bell Frog in southern NSW. Black box and River Red Gum wetlands. Tangles of lignum swamp, rice paddies and irrigation channels. I tried to see the landscape from a frog’s eye view.

Many months and many hours of drawing later, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of The Southern Bell Frog Story. This colouring book has been commissioned by some of the wise folks who work on threatened species conservation for the New South Wales government, who realize that education and extension work are integral to any wildlife conservation project. Thanks in particular to Helen Waudby and Matt Cameron for understanding the value of art for communicating science and conservation messages.

The Southern Bell Frog Story will be distributed to landholders and other people who live and work in the same wetland ecosystems as this threatened species of frog. I’m not allowed to sell hard copies of this book, as it was created with funds from the NSW government Saving our Species program. But for the same reason The Southern Bell Frog Story free for you to download as an ebook. Woohoo!

Chooks are irrepressible, despite the uncertainty of their lives. They give me inspiration.

A quick trip to South Australia this week provided an opportunity for nature journaling. It was a sad occasion, but I always find journaling (writing, drawing, or both) very comforting at such times.

Who is your favorite urban bird?
Here are 16 of the most commonly-sighted bird species in greater Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. And many of these occur in other parts of Australia too.

How many can you name?

This kookaburra lives in the Bimblebox Nature Refuge in Central Queensland. Drawn within the bird are other woodland creatures that it eats! How many can you find?

This is just one of the many beautiful illustrations from my Bimblebox Wonderland colouring book. Entirely designed and produced in Australia, and printed on recycled paper. Only $15.99 from my online store: https://www.paperbarkwriter.com/product/bimblebox-wonderland-colouring-book/

Bimblebox Nature Refuge is a precious patch of uncleared woodland in the Galilee Basin of Queensland, and it is threatened by Clive Palmer's plans for a coal mine. The Environmental Defenders Office is currently challenging these plans in court. To find out how you can help, check out www.bimblebox.org
