Prints for Wildlife - Cliffy the Ringtail Possum for the Dalli Wadthin Wildlife Shelter, Woodend
A black frame is also available, please leave a note at checkout if you’d like this option.
100% of profits are donated to the Dalli Wadthin Wildlife Shelter in Woodend, Victoria
Inspired by a request to buy a large print of Waldo the orphaned joey that graced the cover of the Country Style magazine Spirit of the Bush issue in early 2020, I launched a personal project to raise funds for some of our dedicated wildlife carers who give so much to our native animals.
The concept is simple. I visit wildlife sanctuaries, take a portrait of one animal, and 100% of profits from each sale of that fine art print goes directly to that wildlife sanctuary.
The funds will be used to care for the wildlife in their care, generally on things like food, teats and bottles, maintenance of the shelter, and fuel. Most of the sanctuaries are completely self-funded or rely on occasional donations.
Dalli Wadthin Wildlife Shelter
Vicki Cronin and Paul Arumets operate a small, registered wildlife refuge called Dalli Wadthin (an indigenous translation meaning “plenty of possums”) in the Macedon Ranges.
They deal almost exclusively with possums and gliders. More than 150 furry refugees were admitted here in 2019 alone.
One small framed print has been gifted to the Dalli Wadthin Wildlife Shelter.
Cliffy’s story
Terrified, starving, dehydrated, and weighing in at a fragile 85 grams, little “Cliffy” was found wandering alone on a gravel path in Clifton Hill. Through a series of coincidences, his rescuer brought him into Vicki’s care. He was raised with a group of orphans, and was released into a safe and possum-friendly environment shortly after he was photographed.
Details
Printed on 310gsm 100% cotton rag museum grade archival paper, which is archival quality and guaranteed not to fade or bleed for up to 100 years.
Limited edition of 100 prints. Each print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Printed and framed by hand in Melbourne.
The timber shadowbox frames are made from sustainably sourced Victorian Ash, with 3mm museum grade Plexiglas (which is lighter than glass, protects from UV damage and is shatter proof). They are finished with a wire so are ready to be hung straight out of the box.
See the last image for print dimensions, and FAQs for exact dimensions of frames and borders.

Sustainability
Are sustainable materials used to produce your fine art prints?
Yes - the frames are produced from locally-sourced Victorian ash which has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification provides the highest level of protection for rare and endangered forests and wildlife, and is the only system that mandates consultation with local Indigenous Peoples.
The prints themselves are a 310gsm 100% cotton rag, which is considered the most environmentally photographic paper as it doesn't use any tree fibres. Instead, it is produced from a recycled by-product of the textile making industry. While the cotton industry itself isn't very environmentally friendly - the cotton rag paper is a by-product and therefore is considered to have a low environmental impact as no cotton is grown specifically to make the paper stock.
In addition to this, the prints are made to last - they are museum quality which means they will be protected for over 100 years.
What do you use to package the prints for shipping?
Packages are wrapped with Polycell EcoPure, a biodegradable bubble wrap alternative which is designed to degrade plastic in a landfill overtime. Frames are shipped in cartons from 3BC stock which is comprised of 77% recycled content and 33% from FSC certified kraft fibres that are sourced from Gippsland in Victoria.
Is the shipping carbon neutral?
Sure is!
