Eastern Ground Parrot Badge (2023)
$7.00Eastern Ground Parrot (2023)
The Eastern Ground Parrot (Pezoporus wallicus) was chosen in 2023 in recognition of the United Nations International Year of Millets.
Millets are incredible plants that are drought tolerant, encourage healthy soil biota and microbes and provides habitat for the Eastern Ground Parrot. This secretive little parrot inhabits south-eastern Australia from southern Queensland through NSW to western Victoria. It also previously lived in South Australia but has not been recorded since 1945. Across Australia populations have declined due to habitat destruction through fires and land clearing, and predation by foxes and cats. In Victoria it was listed as endangered in 2020 and is considered in significant decline. It’s now contracted to islands of coastal or sub coastal heathland and sedge land habitats.
The Eastern Ground Parrot is one of only five ground-dwelling parrots in the world. The others being the western ground parrot, extremely rare Night Parrot, the Antipodes parakeet, and the highly endangered Kakapo from New Zealand.

Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (2024)
$7.00Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (2024)
The endangered Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby (Scientific name: Petrogale xanthopus) is a macropod, and member of the Kangaroo and Wallaby family.
Kangaroos and Wallabies are a keystone species in Australia? That means they are critical in maintaining a healthy balance for the ecosystem. They consume plant biomass contributing to regeneration, reduce vegetation (important for bushfire hazard reduction), spread the seeds of native grasses when foraging and fertilise nutrient deficient soils.
There are around 2000 – 6000 individuals left in South Australia, while sadly only around 175 left in NSW in the wild (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/42931-Petrogale-xanthopus, 2024). They reside in rocky outcrops, boulder piles, cliffs, gorges and steep rocky slopes in semi-arid woodland in Eastern and Southern Australia. An adult male can be 80cm tall and weigh up to 11kg while an adult female is up to 60cm tall and weighs 6-7kg. The coat markings are spectacularly complex being an overall fawn-grey with a white side stripe and cheek stripe, brown and white hip stripe and orange-yellow ears, forearms, hind legs and feet while the tail is orange-brown with darker bars or rings.
Current threats are competition for food and shelter from introduced herbivores such as goats, predation by introduced predators such as Foxes and Cats, habitat fragmentation, genetic risks of small, isolated colonies and catastrophic events such as wildfire and drought.
Many individuals and groups are working hard to protect the species. We hope you can too.
