Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Stunning picture book celebrating working together, sharing important lessons from Country, and featuring First Nations language
Around and around they go,' says Walert looking at Gugung's hands turning the wheel of woven reeds, growing slowly and surely, bigger and bigger.
Walert's grandmother, Gugung, is collecting reeds (djirra) to weave a basket (binak) and finally, Walert is big enough to take part and learn this important cultural practice. But when a pair of blue wrens interrupt them, Walert realises that the birds have something to teach her, too.
Featuring Wurunjeri language and glossary, this is a stunning book about learning from Country .
Aunty Kim Wandin, Wurundjeri Elder and senior knowledge holder, is a master-weaver whose artistic works are held in state and private collections, and for many years has used the spoken and written word to build cultural bridges.
Christine Joy has worked many years on collaborative projects in the cultural and environmental education sector, published curriculum materials for teachers and coordinated Children's Bookweek events and exhibitions of children's literature in cultural organisations.
