Loanable resources and Indigenous Kit
We have assembled some resources (flags, posters, books, boomerangs, indigenous musical instruments, information booklets) which you can apply to use if you are a school, an organisation or individuals, who are studying or working with an Australian theme.
If you are a school, and you have a recurring theme about Australia, please contact us if you would like us to assist you in gathering a more permanent collection to teach about Australia.
There is a high demand for resource kits so we ask that you inform us early if you would like to borrow one. You can borrow a resource kit for two weeks at a time.
Here are some examples of what we currently have in our Embassy collection, which you can borrow:
- DVDs
- CDs with Aboriginal and Australian folk songs
- Children's books (in English) with Aboriginal themes, books on Australian nature, culture, architecture, language and history
- Flags (fabric and paper), posters, pull-ups (for larger displays)
- Small stuffed animals.
