Go no further than the just-released Australian Wildlife Roadkill calendar, from Wild Discovery Guides.<\/p>\n<p>Sure to be a talking point around the Christmas tree, the calendar features 12 colour images of roadkill around Australia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s quirky, but not too gruesome,&#8221; says Australian naturalist Len Zell, who wrote the popular glove-box guide book Australian Wildlife Roadkill, on which the calendar is based. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s a chance to hang something really different on the back of your toilet door, in the shed, or wherever you choose &#8211; we expect that the kitchen won&#8217;t be the most favoured choice for most people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the calendar is a novelty, the issue of roadkill is a serious one, especially as many Australians prepare for holiday road-trips over the summer. Zell&#8217;s book outlines how to avoid, deal with, and identify roadkill. <\/p>\n<p>The calendar features images collected over many years travelling throughout Australia, from a Wedge-tailed Eagle in Western Australia to a wombat in New South Wales, a Tasmanian Devil, and the cover shot of a Red Kangaroo on the Birdsville Development Road. <\/p>\n<p>Images can be viewed, and calendars ordered online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilddiscoveryguides.com\/\">www.wilddiscoveryguides.com<\/a>. The calendar is priced at $14.95 (plus $2 postage in Australia, or $5 overseas). It is A4 size, spiral bound, with a large square format. <\/p>\n<p>The book retails for $19.95, and a book\/calendar package is available for $30 including postage. <\/p>\n<p>Wild Discovery Guides is a small, independent Australian publishing company founded in 2000 by Len Zell to publish quality travel guides aimed at travellers with a keen interest in learning more about the natural world in the destinations they visit. It also has an online magazine dedicated to nature-based travel and wildlife and environmental issues, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wilddiscoveryguides.com\/\">www.wilddiscoveryguides.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a unique Christmas gift this year?
