Between the lines
Between the lines features a selection of newly-released printed and
electronic books featuring authors who are alumni of the University.
Bold Palates
Rainfed Framing Systems
What makes the Australian barbecue
characteristically Australian? Why are
pumpkin scones an Australian icon? How
did eating lamb become a patriotic gesture?
Bold Palates is lovingly researched and
extensively illustrated. Barbara helps us to a
deeper understanding of Australian identity
by examining the way we eat.
The premise of the book is that for best
results, a farm system must be understood
as a whole and operated to improve
productivity, profitably, efficiency and
sustainability and it must achieve the goals
of both farmers and communities.

Joelie first used her degree to start her own
retail business but always knew her life’s
ambition was something totally different.
Joelie aspires to enlighten the modern world
with lost tales and practices from the past.
This has come to fruition in her first book
– an adventure story for children entitled
Celeste, Nick and the Magical Tea Party.
It traces the history of the Bounty mutineers
from their initial south sea ‘paradise’ through
the rapid descent into a murderous hell
on Pitcairn Island, followed by a deeply
religious period and then relocation to
the ‘near-paradise’ of Norfolk Island.
The book concentrates on the lives and
culture of Norfolk’s inhabitants today, but
demonstrates how much their ancestors’
extraordinary past still plays a dominant role
in the daily life of their descendants.
