What makes us Australian? What are our histories? What different things do we like to learn, eat, play, practice, and share?
What Australia is, good or bad, is because of our past. What Australia might become is up to our children. Empower young Australian's with a sense of appreciation for our cultures and our ability to choose how to shape our country.
Our Australia explores the concept of being Australian by acknowledging the First Australians, and subsequent colonisation and migration that has brought people from all over the world to make Australia their home. A range of topics are covered from sport, food, cultures, icons, traditions, and geography making it suitable for use across many ages.
The big book format and topic layout make it ideal for a focused discussion on different aspects of being Australian.
