The Canberra Puzzle Books
Have a bus full of noisy students, or a car full of restless children, to entertain on your trip to Canberra? A class on the history of our national capital? These puzzle books are the ideal companions on your trip to or studies about our national capital. Fun, and learning, at the same time!
Both books cover the history of the Canberra region, from pre-European settlement to the modern day. The books have been checked by local historians for accuracy. Subjects include:
- local Aboriginal culture
- early pioneer settlers
- the selection of Canberra as our capital
- Walter Burley Griffin’s plan
- life in Canberra during Word War II
- flag and emblems of the city
- early maps of the city turned into mazes
- flora and fauna of the region
There are find-a-words, mazes, crosswords, story crosswords, clueless crosswords, colouring-in, dot-to-dots, codes, and spot-the-differences, amongst others!
