The story behind it

Known as the “screaming woman bird,” “murder bird,” and “baby-cry bird,” the bush stone-curlew...

Known as the “screaming woman bird,” “murder bird,” and “baby-cry bird,” the bush stone-curlew is as creepy as they come. She lurks motionless in the day, then stalks the night with eyes that don’t blink and a call that sounds like a baby wailing. In Larrakia Dreaming stories, and across other First Nations cultures, her haunting cry is said to be a mother searching for her lost child—a sorrow carried on the night air. Equal parts nightmare fuel and local icon, the curlew doesn’t care if she freaks you out. She sings anyway... and she sings like nobody is sleeping.

There is also a back print edition of this design if that's how you roll.

Shipping & Returns

Printed just for you. Every order is printed to order in Brisbane, usually within 1-3 business days.

Once your order has been printed and dispatched:

Standard shipping: usually 4–8 business days
Express shipping: usually 3–6 business days
Free standard shipping on orders over $100

Top End customers: If you're in the NT and in a hurry (an unusual combination), we recommend choosing Express Shipping. Standard parcels from Brisbane tend to take the scenic route via Adelaide before eventually heading north. Express shipping usually takes the red-eye directly instead.

Because each item is printed to order, we can’t usually exchange items ordered in the wrong size. Please check the size guide before ordering. Annoying, but also fairly sensible.

If your item arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, get in touch and we’ll sort it out.

Sustainability

Every That’ll Do, NT item is printed only after you order it.

That means no piles of unsold stock, less waste, and fewer sad shirts sitting in a warehouse wondering where it all went wrong.

Designed in Darwin. Printed in Brisbane. Made when it’s wanted.

Great shirt, good quality, fantastic talking point (amazing how many people do not know of the bush curlew)

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. He has strangers commenting every time he’s out. It’s top quality and great fun.

great shirt

All these prints remind us of our 17 years in Darwin. Miss it every day

Beautifully crafted, great quality. Dad just loves it.

Love my curlew T-shirt! Comfortable cotton, well-made, fits well.
I grew up in the bush hearing curlews at night all the time, so I enjoy wearing this shirt. Thank you!

Bought it for my adult son, who discovered curlews after visiting FNQ about 4 years ago. He is absolutely terrified of their call. I love them as I grew up with them but they still chill my blood too.

looks great, nice fit

Great product great service

Love the shirt and the concept. Wonder if the text could be in a different place though. My choir mates kept having trouble reading it as it is situated quite low.

Thanks Tom! Glad you love the shirt and the idea behind it. I’ve actually had similar feedback about the print position, so I’m going to have another look at moving it a little higher. Appreciate you mentioning it.

My wife loved her curlew T.
Best part was I saw one that very same day it arrived!!!
Great shirt and speedy delivery.
Thank you 🙏🏽

Nice quality Tshirt and I love bush stone curlews so all good. It’s just a bit too long but I can cope with that.

Thanks Sue! Glad the curlew has found another fan. Appreciate the feedback on the fit too.

A number of friends and strangers have complimented me on it, even before they saw the caption, so it's a crowd pleaser. I love it. Bush stone curlews are among my favourite birds.
But i wonder if the whole graphic could be printed higher up the shirt, closer to the neckline, or even smaller, so the image and the caption are visible, even when the shirt is tucked into pants.

Thanks Jan! Love hearing that the curlew is getting compliments out in the wild. And thanks for the feedback on the print position too. I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m reviewing the artwork placement.

Loved these got them for my grand children who wer overwhelmed by the bush curlews and have taken them back to the UK (the T shirts!)

Easy buy, good service and great quality.....Jan

Great!

Awesome and great quality shirt! Highly recommend :)

Prompt delivery and very good quality product... I just love them!

The birthday girl absolutely loved it.

Awesome.

Perfect.

Fantastic

Great shirt! Bought as a gift for a family bird-nerd - I know he’ll love it, particularly as I used to complain viciously when The Curlews played under my bedroom window for three years at 2am daily. I actually moved house, I bet they’re still playing!

Can't wait to wear it when I visit areas with curlews!!!!!

Your service is great. Quality is excellent and I can't wait to wear it when it warms up! I'm hoping to get a few laughs when I visit friends where curlews are common.

Funny and true!
Despatched quickly also

I love it.
Quick despatch too

Love it. Soft & Great fit. Currently in the NT with them singing every night.
