We are well known for the accuracy of our Australian animal designs. To ensure we get them just right, we work with the curators of zoos and museums in Australia.

To the core ranges of science kits and animal replicas we have added some interesting science toys and the incomparable quality of Navir optical products.

Our stock is available ex our warehouses in Australia and New Zealand and from our UK distributor, Grasshopper Toys. Please note that not all products are available in all locations, so please refer to your local price list - if it is on the price list it is available. If not, please ask.

For the convenience of placing orders on-line go to our website (using your smart phone you can use the QR barcode below) and follow the links. You will need to apply for access.
