Gouldian finch
The bright splash of a Gouldian finch against the tropical savanna woodland is a rare treat. These tiny finches are increasingly difficult to spot owing to dramatic population decline over the last few decades. Their greatest threats come from widespread hot-burning wildfires and introduced species that consume either the available food supply or the vulnerable finch itself. Happily, this trend does seem to be slowing, or even reversing in recent years, with catching a sign of a finch around Darwin becoming more regular – though not less exciting.
They can be found in pockets across the far north of Western Australia and the Northern Territory in places where they can still access seed and nest safely in tree hollows at key times of year.

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.
