Soldier crabs running…
Pippis wiggling…
Jellyfish floating…
Pelicans gliding…
These are just some of the things you can photograph when you’re out and about during the day.
What photos of native creatures have you taken lately?
Julie Thorndyke loves to spend each summer at a quiet beach-side town north of Sydney. It is an area rich in native wildlife. Although most Australian animals are nocturnal and elusive during the daylight hours, sometimes Julie and her family will encounter a hungry goanna on the bush track behind the house, spot a koala high up in a gum tree, or meet a dingo in the sand dunes. One memorable morning, a python caught a pigeon on their roof and swallowed it whole for breakfast!

Two stories for kids from one of Australia’s master storytellers.
In “Draining the Lake”, two boys discover what they think to be the Lost City of Atlantis, submerged in a spooky lake near their town. In “The Family Business”, Elvis impersonator dad hatches a scheme for a new act, featuring his stage-shy son as Young Elvis.
Life for Pino the Pup is just how he wants it with his human Mum and Dad – yummy snacks, plenty of toys, and lots of fresh air on his daily walks.
Until Mum and Dad arrive home one day with a gurgling guest, who grabs all of their attention, and most of Pino’s play space. The snacks come far and few between, and Pino has to almost beg for his walks. What’s to be done?
After learning, in DISinformation, that losing his feathers (moulting) is a perfectly natural part of life, Woody the Canary is told by his so-called buddy, Sir Humphrey, the Princess Parrot, that his trilling song is dis-com-bob-u-lat-ing to all his feathered friends.
Woody can hardly say the word, let alone track down who finds his song so unpleasant.
Two new adventures from the multi-award winning duo Dianne Bates and Bill Condon, with illustrations by Cherie Dignam.

Follow the journey of a budding photographer as he captures the antics of our beloved fauna going about their day. Soldier crabs run in the hot sun. Wagtail dances chirps and prances.

Watching through the Day captures Australia’s wildlife at play. You’ll find pippis poking out of the sand; a magpie feeding its baby, and much more. The artwork by Nandina Vines is so sweet, refreshing and dreamy, picking up the beauty and colours in Nature that Australians are so lucky to enjoy.
