Our Wondrous Country

Country is all around us, the earth (soil), waterways, plants, animals, sky, and Community all encompass Country.  

We all play an important role in ensuring Country is happy and healthy, which is why it is important to know what plants and animals exist in the Country around you. Here in Naarm (Melbourne) we have important plants and animals we coexist with, such as wombats, wattle trees, lyrebirds, fern trees, and butterflies.  

Colour and create your own mobile with plants and animals from across this Country to learn how we are all interconnected.
