    The Nestbox Book 2nd Edition (PDF only)

    $22.00

    This is a practical and informative 60 page book that guides you through the process of selecting, constructing,  installing and maintaining a selection of nestles for a variety of native Australian birds and mammals. There are great to use after fire has decimated a region to give these species refuge until the plants and trees have time to regrow.

    There are nestbox plans for 25 different species – 16  birds, 8 mammals and bats. It also guides you on how high to place them, species breeding details and much more.

    It also helps you to establish a management plan for the boxes to ensure we do not inadvertently support unwanted species who are in direct competition with native birds and mammals for food, water and shelter – as we want to help not further damage our recovering wildlife.

    This book was first published by Gould League in 1997.  It was complied by Jim Grant, with contribution by Hugo Phillipps (Birds Australia – RAOU), Tim Gunn (Gecco Nestboxes), Russell Trainor, Rob Morrison and Ellen McCullock (Bird Observers Club of Australia) in attempt to help protect native wildlife who were fast losing their habitat.  This latest version was reproduced and updated in 2008.  This book is currently only available in PDF.

    TREES – An Activity-based curriculum guide by Gould League and VAEE.

    Trees are a great starting point for Science, Visual Arts, Drama, Media, SOSE and music explorations, and enquiries.

    Concrete and practical learning and considered social action are build upon the enthusiasm generated from students’ enjoyment of the natural world. Learning outcomes across the curriculum can be achieved as students improve skills and get involved in hands-on learning.

    This is a must for teachers and parents looking to engage children in the natural world.  This is out of print, but now available for all to enjoy in PDF format so you can print activities as you need them.

  • Urban Birds Of Souther Australia

    Urban Birds of Southern Australia Poster (Archive)

    $20.00

    Urban Birds of Southern Australia.

    This popular poster depicting Urban Birds of Southern Australia poster is the second Urban Birds poster produced by Gould League. The first was by Peter Tusler in 1974.  This poster was however updated along with our Birds of Southeast Australia book series in 1990 by the late Susan McInnes as there were many changes over time to the size and nature of urban areas, resulting in the the introduction of new species.  The names of some birds also changed and we expanded our focus from just Victoria to all of Southeastern Australia. The updated poster and books reflected those changes.

    This poster has been lovingly reproduced from archive stock. Prints are 47cm x 73cm printed on 150mg gloss stock in Cmyk – Full Colour.

    How many of these birds do you or your children know?  They are a great resource for schools or the whole family to learn it identify local birds.

    Artwork by Susan McInnes, 1990.
