Acerca deste libro electrónico
'One wet season day, during my first year living in Kakadu, I was sheltering in a cave with some friends. An old man was telling stories of his youth and country. I remember saying to him, I'd like to walk around the bush for a full year and see and feel the changes each season brings. He replied, Well, go do it!'
Join Diane Lucas and Ken Searle as they walk through the bush of northern Australia. Follow the seasonal calendar of the Gundjeihmi-speaking people of Kakadu. Feel the changes each season brings to the plants, animals and birds of this rich and inspiring land.
'This is a story that has got to be told
to children so they know country -
no good just sitting in the classroom all day.
You've got to get outside
and discover the bush,
feel the changes,
see what's there.'
from a group of Gundjeihmi-speaking people of the Murrumburr clan
