AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Tracker Tjugingji lived out bush with his family. They camped in little windbreak shelters, and Tjugingji used to sleep on the ground next to his parents. One time Tracker Tjugingji's parents decided to go to a big lake, a long way east of where they were camped... Tjugingji wanted to go too, but he didn't expect the trip to be quite such an adventure. This book also includes a CD of The Animal Song, a lively tune about kangaroos hopping, dingoes howling and big emus walking.' (Source: fishpond website)

Situating Childhood: A Reading of Spatiality in Aboriginal Picture Books
2005
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Papers : Explorations into Children's Literature , May vol. 15 no. 1 2005; (p. 59-67) In this essay, Lunt's objective is to read spatiality in Aboriginal picture books through the representations of inhabitation and spatial phenomena. The analysis focuses on Bob Randall and Kunyi June-Anne McInerney's Tracker Tjugingji (2003) which Lunt argues, invites readers to share a journey in and through cultural constructions of spatiality. Elaine Russell's A is for Aunty (2000) creates a montage of performative spatiality that links space and time while in Russell's most recent picture book, The Shack That Dad Built (2004), representations of spatiality are personified by embodiment. All three texts offer new ways of understanding spatiality and says Lunt, invite further explorations of 'the spatialisation of Australian childhood' (67). -
