Our national symbols are stories, poems and ballads from the pioneering days, such as Dorothea Mackellar's poem My Country that expresses the beauty of the Australian landscape.Our symbols are the colours, flags, anthems and emblems that we recognise as being part of our national identity. For some they are the images of special buildings or places, such as Sydney Harbour Bridge or Uluru that give them a sense of national pride. National Symbols presents just some of the symbols that give Australians a sense of a national identity.Covering subjects from the Humanities curriculum the Mac Australia Topics books combine brilliant photography and visual literacy elements with authoritative text matched to students' reading ability.
