The road, my mob and me (2012)

Description

The road, my mob and me conveys key pedestrian, passenger and play, road safety messages to young Indigenous children and their parents or carers in a culturally appropriate way. The interactive booklet features the Bunganditj Kids puppet characters, Ivan and Annie, and has pages for art and craft activities, including space for a road safety picture and for hand painting - in red, black and yellow.

The workbook was the outcome of a project funded under the annual National Roads and Motorists' Association (NRMA) Motoring and Services safer driving school road safety grant - Infants and preschool. It is currently being distributed to members of the Gandangara Local Land Council and to Indigenous playgroups in south west Sydney, New South Wales (NSW).
