In the Bush (Tuesday)

Series 275: In the Bush (Tuesday) In this series we explore the wonders and diversity of the Australian bush. Throughout the week, Play School is filled with Australia’s unique flora and fauna. Each day, our gumnut people go for a walk in the bush to explore landforms, animals, plants and landscape. Travelling through the windows we have the opportunity to observe possums at close range and native birds on Lake Eyre. We also benefit from a guide’s expertise on bush tucker.
