Its image has been used in many formats over the last century; famous paintings, stamps, emblems and logos, and even currency, where it appearson the Australian ten cent coin and one hundred dollar bill.The Wildlife Cinematographer Nick Hayward captured the famous footage of a lyrebird imitating camera shutters, car alarms, and chainsaws for the BBC series The Life of Birds(1998)."The Message of the Lyrebird is an astonishing achievement...Balangara Films has combined a deep understanding of the lyrebird’s natural history with deft storytelling and the film is, inmy view, a critically important work.’’ –Dr Anastasia Dalziell, Behavioural EcologistThis screening of The Message of the Lyrebird will be a fundraiser for the South East Region Conservation Alliance Inc.
