There's lots to choose from!
Obviously not everything on the site is suitable for kids but if you trawl through it a bit there are some excellent posters and fact sheets.

Oh, this is a great link! We got some free stuff from them a few years ago; will have to trawl through it and see if there's anything new that either girl might be interested in...

I ordered some bits but they haven't arrived yet. Or maybe we haven't checked the post :)

thanks for the heads up with this! We ordered a couple of things at the beginning of the week and they've arrived already.
i can recommend the Protected Marine Species Identification Chart as well. It's a series of linked flip cards with great info.

this (http://www.environment.gov.au/coasts/publications/identification-guide/pubs/protected-marine-species-identification-guide.pdf) is what it looks like- but the actual series of flip cards is listed here (http://www.environment.gov.au/about/publications/index-instock.html) about a quarter of the way down the page under Marine Species - Books and reports -

Protected Marine Species Identification Guide (http://www.environment.gov.au/coasts/publications/identification-guide/index.html) (limit of 5) - (order printed copy (http://www.environment.gov.au/about/publications/order-form.html)) 2005
We also got the Easter Bilby book. Although i have only flipped through the pictures and not read it yet it does look good. It says that because of limited stocks it's only available for teachers but i just put down in my information that it was for Homeschool and they sent it out, so... ?
