Amy Giles The Beauty of

Australia (KKSS)

First, I was draw-

ing the flag. Then, I saw other people in my class were drawing an Australian shaped flag. So, that's when it came

to me to draw this art work, but I thought I still need more to describe Australia. I added in some

animals that are native to Australia as well as water, states and territories that are beautiful

things of Australia.

Isabella Little Airborne (SSCPS) Australia has some of the most beautiful animals and we are mainly known for our birds. I decided to draw a Rain-bow Lorikeet because they are very bright and colourful, and great to draw. I also put the na-tive wattle tree in the

background to show some of Aus-tralia's nature.
