Australian Made
Yes ... these are actually made right here in Australia!
It's getting harder to find toys made in Australia, but we've got this small collection to share for those who'd like to buy Australian made toys online. In this collection we feature products that celebrate our unique wildlife, and a range of printed products that are manufactured locally
We're very proud of our Australian made puppets in particular. Not only do they feature the classic Australian animals, they are also beautifully made in Sydney by hand. This makes them important for customers visiting Australia who'd like a special memento.
>If you know of something made here in Australia that we should be stocking, send us an email or give us a call to let us know!
Why are Australian animals so unique?
Geological Isolation : Except for a few temporary land bridges, we’ve been separated from the other continents for about 45 million years. This isolation allowed species to evolve independently without influence from animals elsewhere.
Ecological Niches : With its isolation, Australia developed a range of distinct ecological niches. For instance, our marsupials, like kangaroos and koalas, evolved with pouches and filled roles like those of placental mammals (those with advanced placentas) in other parts of the world.
Adaptation to the Environment : Our animals have adapted to their specific environments. For example, the kangaroo's powerful hind legs and hopping movement are energy-efficient ways to travel long distances in search of food in the often-arid landscape. In contrast, the wombat’s burrowing lifestyle is suited to the cooler, underground environments of Australia’s forests and grasslands.
Evolutionary Pressures : Our diverse climate and range of habitats created unique evolutionary pressures for millions of years. These conditions led to an array of hopping mammals, a primitive group of egg-laying mammals, an almost unevolved ancient crocodile, and endless bird variants found nowhere else.
