Join Samantha Tidy for the launch of her highly anticipated new picture book, Our Bush Capital, illustrated by Juliette Dudley, that celebrates everything that makes Canberra such a fun and magical place.

This exciting new children’s book details the adventure of a child exploring everything Canberra has to offer. Brindy is so glad to be growing up in Canberra, and there are lots of things to do. Rides on the Merry-Go-Round in the city, The Floriade Ferris wheel, early morning balloon adventures, watching trees grow at the Arboretum, chasing dinosaurs at the National Museum, spotting snow on the Brindabellas, finding the pears at the National Gallery, watching coins get made at the Mint…

… it’s rather exhausting having such a fun childhood!
