 Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures.  I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library. Grab the button for your post and add a link to your post below. I would love to read about your treasures. 

A Simpson Desert Adventure

Today marks the beginning of a dream come true for me. A few years ago my extended family embarked on a journey of discovery.  They traveled to the Simpson Desert in South Australia. In the photo above you can see two of the party on top of Big Red.

Oh how I longed to go and see all the beautifully wild areas in Australia.  The Lord heard my hearts cry and has blessed me and Sir N. Today that dream is being fulfilled.

Sir N and I will be accompanying my Dad for the trip of a lifetime where we shall spend the next three weeks traveling over 6 500 km in the outback and exploring the rugged beauty of Australia.

We will be going to see The Dig Tree which is an intimate part of Australian history (The Burke and Wills Expedition). In preparation for this journey we are taking along with us an audio book: The Dig Tree by Sarah Murgatroyd.

Please keep us in your prayers.  I am looking forward to photographing this adventure and sharing our journey with you when I return in August.

Blessings
Chareen and Sir N

Last year I decided to search out for Charlotte Mason geography resources and discovered that Charlotte Mason had written a geography book.  On my travels to search out this book I discovered it online and then to my delight found the Queen Homeschool Supplies had revised it and they were now publishing the book.  Unfortunately I could not purchase it here in Australia. I recently discovered that it is now being offered as an eBook. 

The book contains 41 lessons and are written in narrative form.  There are illustrations, poems and some lessons are complete with mapping assignments.
