King Island, Tasmania. Shipwrecked debris from the shipwrecks Brahmin 1854, British Admiral 1874, Blencathra 1875
Watercolour and gouache on Ampersand Claybord. - H40 cms x W 40 cms. Framed
Situated in the centre of the western entrance to Bass Strait and known for its treacherous coastline and prevailing south-westerly winds, King Island has been the location of over 60 known shipwrecks, involving the loss of over 2,000 lives. As a result, its not uncommon to come across pieces of history washed up along the beaches after a large storm - clay pipes, ink wells, soles of an old shoe, hand-painted crockery and bottles are just some of the treasures that have been discovered over the years.

The Southern fairy prion is a member of the Pachyptila genus, and along with the blue petrel makes up the prions. They in turn are members of the Procellariidae family, and the Procellariiformes order. The prions are small and typically eat just zooplankton;[2] however as a member of the Procellariiformes, they share certain identifying features. First, they have nasal passages that attach to the upper bill called naricorns. Although the nostrils on the albatross are on the sides of the bill. The bills of Procellariiformes are also unique in that they are split into between 7 and 9 horny plates. They produce a stomach oil made up of wax esters and triglycerides that is stored in the proventriculus. This is used against predators as well as an energy rich food source for chicks and for the adults during their long flights.[3] Finally, they also have a salt gland that is situated above the nasal passage and helps desalinate their bodies, due to the high amount of ocean water that they imbibe. It excretes a high saline solution from their nose.

The superb fairywren (Malurus cyaneus) is a passerine bird in the Australasian wren family, Maluridae, and is common and familiar across south-eastern Australia. The species is sedentary and territorial, also exhibiting a high degree of sexual dimorphism; the male in breeding plumage has a striking bright blue forehead, ear coverts, mantle, and tail, with a black mask and black or dark blue throat. Non-breeding males, females and juveniles are predominantly grey-brown in colour; this gave the early impression that males were polygamous, as all dull-coloured birds were taken for females. Six subspecies groups are recognized: three larger and darker forms from Tasmania, Flinders and King Island respectively, and three smaller and paler forms from mainland Australia and Kangaroo Island.
