My Favourite Suburban Walk
John Martin
There, there, there it is again! It’s a humpback whale! Wait, there’s two!! Wait, that’s a mother and calf!!!
A Birds' Early Morning Song
Danielle Corrie
With the dawn now breaking and the sun beginning to shine, the ever-reliable rainbow lorikeets take part, before the sulphur-crested cockatoos squawk the final verse.

Ryan Keith
Sunrises are seldom overlooked by nonhuman beings. Knowing this, I find dawn an ideal time to seek out interactions with many animals, especially when we’re both unbothered by the rest of humanity. On this day, I hope to sync up and meet up with one being in particular: beriwugan (bee-ree-woo-gan).

Elizabeth Stephens

Sarah L. Clark

Emily Mann
Deck Spider regularly swept gum leaves and rotten prey from her web, but I never saw her do it. How does a spider unglue objects without breaking its web? I needed to see how it was done.
A Common Need To Shelter
Brigitta Summers
Wading about in this pool, a man near me started pointing at something under the water. Squinting through the distortions of the surface, I could see an octopus.
