Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story for the ones that struggle to hop in straight lines. Those distractable ones that can't quite focus on one thing at a time, who hop here and there, follow their impulses instead of the clocks, and always tend to be late and in trouble. And it's for the ones that love to follow the rules, arrive on time, and go in an absolutely set direction. The ones who set goals and go there directly, without deviation. The very focused ones that always seem to do things 'properly'. And actually, it's for everyone on every spectrum in between. These polarities exist within all of us at different times - this book explores and celebrates these polarities in a fun and cute rhyming story. The Wobbly Wallaby is always jumping here and there. All the things she comes across grab her attention; she can't stay still or focus for long at all! She goes in one direction, and then gets distracted and changes track; she can't stick to her goals and she's always late! She just doesn't seem to be able to behave in the same way as the other wallabies. If the Wobbly Wallaby happened to be a kid in a classroom, they might even say she has ADHD. The Absolute Bandicoot is at first annoyed by Wobbly Wallaby. He is the complete opposite - he can't see anything outside the one straight hole he is fixed on digging. He doesn't like disturbance, and wants to stay focused on his singular task. He tends to be a little rude and abrupt, which hurts the sensitive wallaby's feelings. The bandicoot may even exist somewhere on the spectrum of autism, (not that we are giving him that label!) But these two quite different and special creatures find that they have some gifts to share with each other, and they realise in the end that they help each other, and they make a great team! The Wobbly Wallaby and the Absolute Bandicoot tells the tale of the wobbly ones. It hopes to normalise, to celebrate, bring awareness to the creative power of the wobble! To help us to see the genius emerging from those wobbles, to feel the liberation from the linear, the breaking free from the fixed and the typical. To also acknowledge that there are challenges that come with a distractable and differently-shaped mind, and to point the unsaid expectations, shames and pressures that can live inside the wobbly ones.

Download or read book Invasion and Resistance written by Noel Loos and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Queensland has long been a frontier province of Aboriginal Australia. Well before Europeans penetrated to the south-west Pacific, the Torres Strait Islanders had regular and extensive contact with Aboriginal groups in Cape York Peninsula and the Dutch had visited the coast at intervals since 1606. Not till the coming of the white settler in the mid nineteenth century, however, did ‘invasion’ begin. When it did, the Aborigines were dispossessed of their land and, since in British eyes they had no title to it, resistance was considered a criminal activity. This book studies Aboriginal-European relations on four different frontiers of contact. Though the pastoral industry led to the colonisation of most of North Queensland other parts were also the scene of confrontation: the gold mines, the timber-getting areas of the rainforest which later were settled by farmers and the pearlshell and bêche-de-mer areas on the far north coast. In all areas, despite sometimes armed resistance by the Aborigines, the Europeans imposed their authority. This book has something challenging to say to all white Australians interested in the basic values on which their society is based and is an essential reference for Aborigines wanting to know how and why they were dispossessed.
