Patterns of Australia

Patterns of Australia represents a series of Australian landscapes and habitats in “patterns,” as seen through the eyes of acclaimed indigenous artist Bronwyn Bancroft. Each landscape contains animals, birds, plants, and flowers particular to that landscape hidden within it, accompanied by text evoking the place and listing the things to find. The book is designed to give children—and adults—an opportunity to see the Australian environment in a new way, as they discover that there is so much more to see around us if we only look!

Bronwyn Bancroft is an Aboriginal artist and designer and the illustrator of An Australian 1, 2, 3 of Animals; An Australian ABC of Animals; Kangaroo and Crocodile; and W is for Wombat.
