This title for children delves into a small slice of big, beautiful, and diverse Australia. From the first people to populate it to some great Aussie icons, and the unique animals, the landscape, our passion for sport, the akubras, beaches, and much more. This title captures it all and provides a fun, beautifully illustrated, glorious tribute to this wide brown land and its rich and varied multicultural communities. Vibrantly illustrated with watercolour, ink, and mono-printing, this book not only celebrates the more 'typical' Australian flora, fauna and landmarks, it also showcases the everyday quirks and idiosyncrasies that make Australia unique. From many types of rain, Greek street food, Sydney ferries, cattle breeds, the plants of the Daintree, and so much more.
