To The Top End: Our Trip Across Australia

This fabulous Roland Harvey holiday book explores some of the most spectacular landscapes of Australia. Full of adventure, mishaps, and madcap activity, this is a hilarious, entertaining and delightful companion to At the Beach, In the Bush and In the City.

Henry, Penny, Frankie, Mum and Dad embark on an amazing adventure - from Tassie to the very tip of the Top End. Travel with them on the ferry across Bass Strait to the mainland, through Kelly country, along the Murray, into the Flinders Ranges, underground at Coober Pedy, overhead at the Olgas, overland to the Great Sandy Desert, with the fishes at the Great Barrier Reef, deep into the Daintree, out to the islands, kayaking at Kakadu and finally frolicking on the beach at the very top. Then go back and see if you can find a football in the illustrations on each page. Hours of fun for the whole family.

Roland Harvey's Big Book Of Christmas

Did you know that in Italy a kindly old witch called Le Befana delivers presents to the children? That in Holland Saint Nicholas arrives by steamboat in November? And that here in Australia we have some weird and wonderful traditions of our own?

Christmas is celebrated in many ways around the world, and this book is full of interesting and surprising facts about how it's done. Roland Harvey has loads of stories to tell, easy and delicious Christmas recipes to prepare, and clever ideas for making thoughtful, eco-friendly presents and decorations.

There's so much to keep you busy in the Big Book of Christmas, and when everyone is together on the big day, you can put on a puppet show, play some excellent games, and belt out your favourite Christmas carols!

In The Bush

Wombat Flat's the best! We camped out near the Cascades, stayed up all night to see the sunrise, nearly got snowed in at Mt Misery ... and rode across the Razorback. And a squillion other things that you'll find out when you come with us to Wombat Flat!

An irresistible companion to the best-selling At the Beach, guaranteed to occupy children for hours as they search the illustrations for the people, creatures and activities identified in the very funny text.

At The Beach

Hi Everyone!

Crabby Spit is COOL! I've been crabspotting, riding my bike, surfing and swimming, and looking at stars. With a bit of luck, I'll be having fish and chips for dinner. The only problem is my things keep disappearing! Can you help me find them?

Roland Harvey

It's summer and time to head to Crabby Spit! 'Don't forget to write!' says Grandma. The postcards come thick and fast, detailing all the timeless pleasures of playing on the beach, paddling, surfing, finding treasures, dancing to the glow of a bonfire. But look out for the clever family dog who collects all the belongings of the absent-minded artist! Short-listed for the 2005 CBCA Awards, this popular picture book is now available in paperback.

In The City

The city is full of surprises!

We explored the underground sewers during a downpour, climbed inside the giantest scientist, smelt something stinky at the market and snuck up on the biggest barracuda in the aquarium . . .
