Join Diane Lucas and Ken Searle as they walk through the bush of Norther Australia. Follow the seasonal calendar of the Gundjeihmi-speaking people of Kakadu.
This is an educational resource that will still be, being used in years to come and will no doubt be shared amongst many classrooms and schools of Australia. Not only are the illustrations and content in this book superb, but as it also comes with a talking book, and 9 extra pages of Teachers Notesand information. This resource can be used in so many ways and is a must have for all schools in Australia. Printed from paper from sustainable forests
