Stories from the Billabong by James Vance Marshall Pdf
From the author of Walkabout come ten of Australia's ancient aboriginal legends, authentically and elegantly retold. Here you can discover how Great Mother Snake created and peopled the world with plants and creatures, what makes Frogs croak, why Kangaroo has a pouch, and just what it is that makes Platypus so special. The illustrations are by the aboriginal artist and storyteller Francis Firebrace, whose distinctive, colourful work is known throughout Australia and beyond.
This third Indigenous First Discovery Book from Discovery Press uses Aboriginal symbols and clever book design to tell a simple educational story for babies and toddlers. Artist Debbie Austin depicts the animals of the Australian bush as they go to the billabong on a hot day. Each page has the centre cut out so that children can always see the shiny reflective billabong at the end. All Aboriginal symbols used here are familiar to young readers, as they appeared in Debbie's last two books, 'Animals' and 'People and Places', released last year. Both books were well-received by parents and educators, making 'At the Billabong' a highly anticipated early-education title. Babies AND their parents will love this beautiful baby board book. 'At the Billabong' is available 1 December 2009. The cover image above is unfinished; the printer is adding metallic blue paint to the centre circle, to represent the billabong. The image represents (clockwise from the top left corner) kangaroos, people, emus and dingos all travelling to the billabong for a cool drink. All children love learning to draw pictures and tell their own stories using these traditional Aboriginal symbols.

Very rarely were any doors or windows shut at Billabong. The kindly Australian climate makes the sunlit winter air a delight; and if in summer it is sometimes necessary to shut out heat, and possibly intrusive snakes, as soon as the sun goes down everything is flung wide open to admit the cool evening breeze that comes blowing across the paddocks. Billabong always looked as if it were open to welcome the newcomer....FROM THE BOOKS.

'The only way to comprehend this tragic story of mine is to write it.' On the 10th of February 2017, there was a sentencing hearing for murder in the Victorian Supreme Court. The young woman in the dock, who sat quietly with her hands in her lap, had perfect skin and light-brown hair tied back as neatly as a private school prefect's. When the judge asked her to confirm her plea, the young woman answered in a clear and polite voice. 'Guilty, your Honour.' That killer is Mary K. Pershall's beloved daughter Anna. She is twenty-eight years old, tall and beautiful, with an effervescent wit and a university degree in psychology. She also hears the voices of demons. After Anna finished uni, she just could not meet the demands of adulthood, and the voices became overwhelming. She attempted to silence them with alcohol and weed, with the abuse of her prescribed medication, and with ice. But the evil howling would not stop. Award-winning author Mary K. Pershall brings a unique and insightful perspective to a story that is at once devastating and uplifting, and proves that a mother's love - even in its darkest hour - can shed light and provide hope to families in crisis.
