Sulphur-crested cockatoo and Eucalyptus polyanthemos (red box)
The loveable larrikin of the Australian bush, the sulphur-crested cockatoo is widespread from South Australia around the east coast to the north-east of Wesetern Australia. Loud and playful, curious and intelligent, these birds are quite happy to have a litte dance or do loop-the-loops while hanging onto an electric wire and they teach each other their latest tricks.
My favourite collective noun for these sociable birds is a ‘crackle’.
Sulphur-crested cockatoos love all kinds of eucalyptus trees. The red box is a medium sized eucalyptus that grows predominantly in Victoria and New South Wales. It has clusters of pale flowers, flaky bark and egg-shaped leaves.
This cushion features a trio of birds on one side and an all-over print on the other, as shown in the images.

About our cushion covers
- Our cushion fabrics are designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River and printed in Australia. Boo uses a variety of techniques to design the fabrics including painting, drawing, lino prints and digital photography and drawing.
- Boo makes all the cushions in her studio and is registered with the Australian Made campaign.
- Cushions listed on this page are made from polyester upholstery fabric, making them super durable in most environments and very easy to wash.
- They come in a range of great designs with vibrant colours to match any decor.
- All cushions are double-sided. Some cushions have a variation of print (usually scale) on the other side - unless two different images are shown in the display above, both sides of the cushion will be identical.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
