Are We There Yet?

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.

Could there be a better introduction to Australia? Grace and her family travel all around Australia. The book is written like a journal, with diagrams and observations about all the places the family visited, with a lovely chorus line (young brother Billy) of “Are we there yet?”

Heading south on the Tanami Track, the sand
was so deep our car got stuck. Everyone felt
hot and grouchy, and Mum was worried we'd
be stranded in the desert. Luke found a tiny
Thorny Devil, standing fierce as a dragon,
and that cheered us up.
