jack the kookaburra mobile kit

Create one of Australias most beloved icons nestled amongst native felt flowers. Since the late 1800s kookaburras have captured the imagination of artists, designers, industry and governments alike who at different times in history have used the familar image of a laughing Jack to celebrate, motivate and unify the nation. Jack has embellished and enhanced all manner of domestic items from fine china to gold jewellery, stained glass windows to carved wooden fire surrounds, war time postcards, stoves, pasta and shoe cleaner. Forget about owls and other European iconography - make your own symbol of Australia for a grandchild living abroard or a friend of any age.
