Does anyone else pine for the days when the world was filled with lots of colourful currencies, and passport stamps were things to be collected and cherished? Well, starting this month, we can (or rather our little darlings can) get their own ‘Australian Adventure Passport’ stamped as they visit participating attractions all over this wide brown land. Created to “collect stamps and memories as you travel our amazing nation” by Jo and Bryce Rothwell (a children’s book writer-illustrator couple, from Warburton in Victoria), the passports record travels to aquariums, mazes, penguins and many more destinations “for adventurers of all ages”. $10. rothwellpublishing.com
