'This is a story that has got to be told

to children so they know country -

no good just sitting in the classroom all day.

You've got to get outside

and discover the bush,

feel the changes,

see what's there.'

from a group of Gundjeihmi-speaking people of the Murrumburr clan

Diane Lucas

Diane Lucas grew up exploring the bush in New South Wales. She moved to Kakadu in her late twenties. There she worked as a schoolteacher on an Aboriginal outstation and in turn was taught many things about the bush. From 1991 to 1996, Diane worked on a research project in Kakadu, documenting traditional resources on the South Alligator River floodplain and surrounds.

She was encouraged by the elders to write about the land and get stories to children. They have supported her efforts as an educator with her children's books, the first being Walking with the Seasons in Kakadu. Since then she has had six other publications. She now lives only two hours from Kakadu, with her husband, and maintains a close relationship with the people and country of Kakadu.

She and her husband travel in northern Australia and Africa doing botanical and fire ecology work. Diane is inspired by wild landscapes and the cultural context of these places, and the way children explore and play in wild habitats with such ease. She does much of her writing as she travels and walks in the bush.

Nothing short of spectacular, informative, brilliant. My son and I LOVE this book and go over it often - looking for things in the pictures, learning about plants and animals along with the seasons.
Love the art work, love the presentation, love the information.
