Scaly-Tailed Possum and Echidna

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 28/01/25

We are experiencing an influx of late orders. We understand school starts that today. If you placed your order between Thursday and Midday Saturday, and haven't received a message to say that your order is ready, we are working as hard as we can to get your order ready today.

New orders placed from Midday Saturday onwards will be added to the queue and picked in order of receival. We will do our very best to get your order ready as soon as we can, however there may be a wait of 2 to 3 days. If you choose to order we will send you a processing message then a second message that states 'order is ready' once it's ready for pickup. .

Please be patient with our staff. We had 30 staff working over the back-to-school period to get orders ready and we are really proud of what they achieved. Some of them have now returned to school and university so we have a much smaller staff onboard today. If an item on your order is out of stock, it will be backordered for you and noted on the paperwork supplied with your order.

Open Monday Tuesday Friday from 8am-4pm. Open Wednesday Thursday from 8am-5pm.Open Saturday from 8am - 12pm closing strictly at midday.

This engaging story tells how the possum got its scaly tail and the echidna got its spikes. Passed down from generation to generation, this is a traditional dreamtime story that features two iconic Australian animals: the scaly-tailed possum, found only in a remote part of the Kimberley, and the echidna, one of Australia's most unusual mammals.  Vividly illustrated with paintings on silk, it includes detailed descriptions and photographs. It also tells of the Wandjina, the Creator and Great Spirit, an important part of Aboriginal dreamtime stories from the Kimberley.
