Do you have any teaching notes for the dog with seven names
HI Jo-Anne, lovely to hear from you. I’ve just contacted the publisher. I thought we wrote some but can’t seem to find them. If not, we will have some very soon. In the meantime there are timelines and notes in the back of the book regarding the RFDS, WA air raids and evacuations, the Brisbane Line, WW2 Dutch evacuees and Broome flying boat casualties and the WW2 secret Corunna Downs airfield. So much history .., which you know I love 🙂 the book really is the tip of a research iceberg! All the best, Dianne
