Australia Map Launch Wrap-Up

3.bpspot/-8GE7wMO0Czk/WhpJ9YCktbI/AAAAAAABMQs/wyZm8bPxSYcgzOgmGSieOKXkgIVgCdDSgCLcBGAs/s1600/Map%2Blaunch%2B12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> It was an absolute hoot to launch my Australia Map this morning at Harry Hartog in Woden (book launches are, like, sooooo passe). The kids huddled in to be taken on an Aus-wide tour, then it was under the pump to answer 20 questions about Australia (with lots of prompting). They actually did really well, and won some furry prizes and some prints of animals from the map. Enormous thanks to everyone who came along to celebrate. We enjoyed activities, red centre cupcakes with meringue clouds and an outback balloon, gold coins (typical map treasure!) and the kids had the chance to write on my map! It was quite the conundrum signing a rolled-up map in a tube! But we found a way. More thanks to Nicole Godwin for these amazing photos, and to Leanne Ba...

It's been printed on the most beautiful writeable, wipeable paper and when you unfurl it, it doesn't stay coiled in a tight fist--it lies almost flat. Heaven! There are, quite literally, NO spare walls in my house except this curved one at our entryway. It's like it was made for this map. Look how huge it is. It's HUGE! Australia: Illustrated Map will be released this December, and will be available in stores Australia-wide, and online. I'll be having a map launch--yes, you read it right--we might have to crack a bottle of champagne against it--at Harry Hartog Woden (Canberra) on Sunday 26 November, so whack that in your...

This was a lot of fun and it's so cool to see the characters from my map swimming and flying free.
