Exploring the megafauna that existed in the Pleistocene era, some of which were local to the Limestone Coast area, this picture book highlights the challenges the Diprotodon faces from the environment and other animals.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Manager Library and Community Development Sally Mann said the library was excited to host Bronwyn for the local release of her picture book which allows children and families to learn about the fascinating world of the megafauna.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublished by CSIRO this is a highly engaging book which combines realistic illustrations with reliable scientific knowledge, one which children of all ages can enjoy,\u201d Ms Mann said.<\/p>\n<p>Bronwyn is a passionate citizen scientist who enjoys sharing facts about Australia\u2019s natural history with readers. The story is bought to life by the captivating illustrations of Andrew Plant, a Melbourne-based illustrator, author, and science educator.<\/p>\n<p>The author event is family friendly featuring a book reading followed by an activity for children. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing. Bookings are required.

I returned to Kalangadoo regularly, even packing cherries for a couple of summers to earn money for university. I have good friends and family in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is a connection children\u2019s author Bronwyn Saunders, who promotes herself as the \u2018kid from Kalangadoo\u2019, has always cherished and qualifies her to be labelled a local author as she unveils her debut children\u2019s book at an author event at the Mount Gambier Library,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lived there from March 1983 until January 1990, completing Year 7 of primary school in Kalangadoo,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cWe moved to Kalangadoo after Ash Wednesday and with the great losses due to the bushfire, the Kalangadoo community was still coming to terms with what had happened. My father, George Kaiser, was posted to Kalangadoo to fill the position of officer in charge of the police station.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And while her parents maintained a close connection to the region, moving at one stage to Bordertown, Bronwyn moved onto tertiary study, graduating from Flinders University mid-2002 before moving to Canberra later that year with her New Zealand-born fianc\u00e9 Roderick, who she met at university.<\/p>\n<p>It was when she and her husband spent Christmas 2006 with her parents in Bordertown that a childhood fascination was reignited when she took Rod to experience the Naracoorte Caves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is when my mind was blown and I learned about megafauna,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cI was first told a tall tale that the diprotodon was carnivorous. Imagine a wombat the size of a black rhinoceros wanting to eat meat. That\u2019s when I fell in love with diprotodons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI quickly learnt that diprotodons are not carnivorous, but it no longer mattered, my love for diprotodons could not be dimmed. I did all this research and I spent a great deal of time looking into diprotodons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a trip that took her back to those school days at Kalangadoo where at least once a year the Naracoorte Caves was a school excursion destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMegafauna was never mentioned, despite the 1969 discoveries and the 1994 World Heritage Area listing,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cBut, I always saw the sign advertising Flinders University and their involvement in some project to do with the caves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So when she evolved from a 17 year Commonwealth public servant to a children\u2019s author, Flinders University was her first port of call.<\/p>\n<p>I worked as a Commonwealth public servant for 17 years. I began to explore the idea of writing for children in 2011. Then in 2021, I became a full-time author.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing my alumna status, I was able to connect with Professor Roderick Wells (he is now an Emeritus Professor) and he suggested texts and articles, and spoke on the phone to me,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cHe understood my desire to educate everyone about Australian megafauna and he is also the science advisor to CSIRO Publishing for my book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rod Wells was a member of the research team that discovered the extensive fossil deposits of Australian mammals, birds and reptiles at the Naracoorte Caves in 1969. He was also instrumental in the development of Vertebrate Palaeontology at Flinders University.<\/p>\n<p>Bronwyn was fortunate to have this ally as she forged ahead with creating her first published non-fiction picture book has seen her career trajectory now inextricably tied to palaeontology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unique megafauna is what has piqued my interest and not learning about these amazing animals earlier than 2007 is what grabbed my attention,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cPalaeontology is how we can understand the animals\u2019 amazing attributes, movements and likely interaction with their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to her debut book, Bronwyn did win a competition to have a story published as part of a 2014 Creative Kids Tales 2014 e-book anthology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am now working on more megafauna books and a number of fictional stories too,\u201d Bronwyn said. \u201cIf you are travelling to Canberra in July, I am giving free public megafauna talks at the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) during their annual megafauna display.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount Gambier Library will host Limestone Coast author Bronwyn Saunders with the launch of her picture book \u2018Diprotodon: A Megafauna Journey\u2019 on Sunday, June 9, at 11am.
