To The Top End

To The Top End

Another irresistible picture book from Roland Harvey characterized, as ever, by his brilliantly detailed and funny illustration style…

Henry, Penny, Frankie, Mum and Dad embark on their most exciting adventure yet- from Tassie to the very top of the Top End. Join them as they explore all the strange and beautiful landscapes that Australia has to offer- take 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 on every page!

Hours of fun for the whole family, To The Top End is a glorious showcase of Australian environments with hilarious visual and verbal jokes throughout.

Suitable for ages 6+
