Home in Kakadu
Life in the top end through Tarrah's
eyes.
Through the eyes of
her grand-daughter, Tarrah, respected Bunitj
elder Jane Christophersen reveals the beauty
of life in Kakadu and the significance of the
changing seasons to those who live there.
This
is a wonderful children's book - bringing to

explaining the cooking, hunting and gathering
procedures and the six seasons of the year -
and what foods you can expect to find in them.
Striking illustrations
by Jane's daughter, (award winning artist Christine
Christophersen, who received a "highly commended" in the

daily life as Tarrah goes bush with her family
