“Walking with the Seasons in Kakadu” By Diane Lucas, Ken Searle (Illustrator)
This sumptuous book invites us to closely observe the birds, plants and animals that inhabit the unique environment of Kakadu, through an understanding of the six Aboriginal seasons and their characteristics.
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.
'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
