S (part 2): Australian Symbols

The first part of the class is your turf - I'll be listening to your presentations on the "R" topics. If we have some time left, we'll jump to the second batch of our "S" topics.

1. Australian Symbols

Begin with some serious reading here.

And then visit my beloved site for a less "purist" take on Aussie symbols ;-)

EUREKA FLAG 
GOLDEN WATTLE

2. In the second part of the class we are going to celebrate the life and heritage of Steve Irwin, or as we came to know him better - The Crocodile Hunter.



How could you just not love this guy? ;-)





















3. (if we have time) Stars: Live, Universe and Everything

That's mostly Aboriginal Astronomy. I'll show you a presentation I prepared for Open Days six years ago. You don't need to read anything.
