Includes map of the best free places to explore for minibeasts on Phillip Island Millowl.
The Lost Blanket $19.99 (AUD)
Author(s): Christine Grayden
Late at night, tired from the long drive home from their holiday, the family discovers they have left their favorite picnic blanket behind.
Now it’s dark, and the park is too far away to go back. What will happen to their lovely blue check blanket? How long will the lost blanket stay lost?
Through story and color pencil drawings with added clock faces and digital clock screens, we discover just how many adventures a lost blanket can have over two days! The book includes four bonus pages of animal sketches and story-writing space for young artists to create their own picture story, plus a beetle to find on each page - children can make up their own little story about the green beetle!

A social history of Churchill Island
This is the 3rd edition of Churchill Island: History and Her Story and is a tribute to Patricia Baird and all those who have cared for this piece of our local history. This edition was revised by Christine Grayden and David Maunders and now includes information about the period of first contact between local Aboriginal communities and white settlers. Dr David Tutchener, archaeologist, provided guidance on the chapters involving early contact between colonial power representatives and local Bunurong people.
Pat Baird took a novel approach to writing Churchill Island's history, dividing the history into eras and giving an historical account followed by an original story giving an imagined account of the lives of women on Churchill Island. Christine and David were careful to revise the book with great respect to Pat's original concept, and also revising and adding to both the information and the women's stories.
