1. The Outback (cc)

<BODY> <h2>1. The Outback (cc)</h2><br> With spectacular gorges, deserts, salt-lakes, caves and an astonishing variety of wildlife, the Outback of Australia is one of the world's last great wilderness areas. The landscape varies from region to region; so we concentrate on the style of the Aborigines - the first, nomadic inhabitants of the Outback. <B>Projects include:</B> <I>Dilly Bag and Message Stick</I> - Originally made from grasses to carry food, our bag is made from clay and oil pastels; and the stick is made with a tribal design. <I>Pocket Pals</I> - Making a fabric purse is a fun way to remember that Marsupials are animals that carry their young in a front pocket. <I>Aboriginal Oil Pastel</I> - Using oil pastels we create Aboriginal paintings of symbols, such as concentric circles and curved and straight lines. <I>Aboriginal Punched Bolo Tie</I> - Punched paper dots are the paint for this original bolo tie. <I>Crocodile Candles</I> - Here we create and decorate a unique Crocodile Candle to light your way on a dark trek into the wilderness. <I>Hands-On Project 401</I> - Kids help other kids through their crafts. 07DR/CC Closed-Captioned PI 30 min. <A HREF="index.htm" target=_top>Home</a><br> </BODY>
