AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"Spirit of Place is the eleventh collection of children's writing and art published as part of Special Forever: An Environmental Communications Project, a partnership between the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and Primary English Teaching Association.

The words and pictures in this collection describe what it means to be growing up with, and within the unique million square kilometres of the Australian landscape known as the Murray-Darling Basin.

From drought to flood, from history to the future, from reconciliation to sustainable natural resource management - there appears to be no topic too large or challenging for these children to tackle. Each individual piece, whether describing a favourite place, a beloved person, an animal, a plant or a way to fix environmental damage, evokes a sense of place and a desire for understanding. As a collection, these words and images capture a strong spirit of a special place." (Source: back cover)
