Australia is home to some of the most unique wildlife on Earth, but sadly, many of these incredible creatures are at risk of disappearing forever. One of the smallest and most endangered is the Canberra Grassland Earless Dragon — a tiny reptile that has lived in our native grasslands for thousands of years. Once common around the ACT, today it faces critical threats from habitat loss, climate change, and urban development. Without urgent action, this precious dragon could vanish entirely.
That’s why we’ve created a special range of Gumleaf Gang-inspired t-shirts and sweatshirts, designed to raise awareness for this remarkable little species. Each shirt is made with love and care, carrying not only the spirit of Australia’s wildlife but also a strong conservation message.
A dragon small with scales of flame,
yet grasslands whisper still your name.
No ears to hear, but earth you know,
where roots run deep and grasses grow.
Beneath the tussocks you remain,
a fleeting ghost upon the plain.
Machines may roar, but still you hide,
a keeper of the fields so wide.
We’ll guard the soil, the flowers too,
to give the sunlit plains to you.
O dragon fierce, though soft and small,
your fire still beats within us all.
