Striped rocket frog
The striped rocket frog spends most of its life on the ground, despite being a tree frog. This is because, although it can jump around 35 times its own body length in a single jump, it is unable to climb. This expert jumping ability coupled with a pointy nose are likely the reasons for the frog’s name.
There are many species of rocket frog, with the striped rocket frog being a long-legged variety that occurs from the coastal areas of northern Western Australia across the top of Australia as far south as Gosford on the east coast. They are a common sight around Darwin and the Darwin rural area. In the wet season they sometimes get inside my house, where they ping about like crazy bouncing balls, making it a serious challenge to catch them and put them back outside where they belong!
Product variants
glasses slip cases
Our glasses cases have a sturdy canvas outer printed with our own designs. They are lined inside and feature a padded layer to provide protection for your glasses cases while taking up much less room in your bag than a hard carry case.
They fit most glasses, being 10cm across and around 20cm tall.
They're durable and washable and customers report the fun bright prints make them easy to find in your bag.
Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our glasses cases 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.
