This book made history in the sphere of juvenile literature. It is an imaginative presentation of Australian wonders wherein each fancy, however magical, is the “Spirit” of an actual fact.It is when nine-year-old Del meets golden-brown Bushbo that “all the wonderful things begin to happen”. The climax is when Australia herself, “Magniﬁcent and ancient one”, speaks yearningly to Bushbo her vegetation, and Del her “mortal youth”.Adventuring through the length and breadth of our continent—in forest, desert, underground, undersea and upper air—Del and Bushbo are everywhere greeted by some quaint, lovable, or fearsome personality of Australian geography: Willie-willie the town-lifting hurricane; Broome, sitting on the edge of the map, bedecked in poinciana and pearls; Spinifex, wiry-haired friend of animals and man; Macdonnell Ranges, the green giant of fabulous wealth; Desert Pea; Water the artesian Basin, imprisoned below earth level by tyrannical Desert and the sand imps; Finke the dragon-faced, most ancient of all rivers; ghosts of the inland sea and Lake Eyre; Nullarbor the under-ground mystery; Opal, elusive, bewitching; Coral, vivid spirit of the Great Barrier Reef; the tree Elders; Daly the impetuous torrent; and many others.By the same author and artist as Australian Wild Flower Fairies and The Little Grammar People, Magic Australia is more than a story of marvel and adventure with sound educational value. It is the voice of a great country uttering a great message that has become an Australian juvenile classic.

Science, Nature & How It Works

The Wonderland of Nature

<p>Even though The Wonderland of Nature has been written and produced in Australia for Australian children it is sure to be loved by all, no matter where in the world they are from. It presents the fascinating facts of Nature and Science in a simple, friendly style, with a profusion of illustrations, and with reference to the Australian scene.Children are endlessly enthralled by Nature—by the countless little things that they observe and pick up in their wanderings along bush-track and seashore. They are eager to know all about these things—and here is a book that tells them.It has been specially designed for two purposes—for children’s enjoyment, and for their practical school needs. As well as dealing with Plants, Insects, Shells, Minerals, Air, Weather, etc., it also explains such things as Light, Sound, Magnetism and Electricity.After going through several previous editions, including being printed in braille, this new edition has been revised and updated to reflect current understanding and expanded to teach new advances in science.This book draws its references from our own everyday surroundings—and delights while it teaches.</p>
