Eastern Curlew Postcard Pack

Pack of 5 postcards featuring a watercolour of an endangered Eastern Curlew.

Moreton Bay is the Australian home to the very quirky and pretty Eastern Curlew (pictured here in my contribution to an exhibition about Migratory Shorebirds)

Moreton Bay is listed under the #ramsarconvention on Wetlands — an international treaty to protect significantly important wetlands around the world.

Moreton Bay supports vital habitat for endangered dugongs, loggerhead turtles and a significant population of more than 50,000 water birds, including 30 migratory species listed on international conservation agreements.

Shorebirds, which migrate up to 12,000 kilometres in one trip to and from places like Siberia or Alaska, use sites such as the Toondah Harbour tidal flats to fatten up over summer and rest for their epic journeys.

PROPOSALS ARE CURRENTLY IN FINAL STAGES TO DREDGE AND BUILD ON THIS SITE.

How we can have such a disorganised state of government that can at one level sign an international treaty promising to protect this very wetland and then at another level be signing off on this is beyond me.

But it is not okay!

Profits from the sale of these cards will go to Bird Life Australia.
