"In 1997 the Special Forever project celebrates links with the land, the rivers and the people of the Murray-Darling Basin. Links with the Land is the fifth anthology to be published as part of Special Forever, a joint project of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission and the Primary English Teaching Association. Children from schools throughout the Basin draw our attention to the region's wildlife, seasons, landscapes and communities, urging us to treasure what we have and preserve it for future generations. Sometimes funny, sometimes concerned, always these children's words and pictures are full of life, honesty and a determination to look after the land and its inhabitants." (Source: back cover)
