Hello, Australia!... Some Big News!

So excited to be checking in today with some big exciting news! I spent a few months earlier this year working away on a new book, and am so thrilled to share the news with you today — get ready to say "Hello, Australia!" and prep your bookshelves for a fun addition!

After lots of requests from readers of Hello, Sydney! and Hello, Melbourne! for lots of other cities like Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart... I decided to go big and cover them all! I pitched Hello, Australia! to my publishers late last year and was so pleased they were onboard. Coming this October, the new book is a colourful look at the country of Australia, state by state and with a special focus on different locations that we’re lucky enough to have in our backyard — from the Great Barrier Reef to Uluru and lots of spots in between.

The 6 bird guides are back to travel through the book with you, this time it's the beautiful (and cheeky!) pink galahs.  I’ve had the best time researching and writing this book, and can’t wait to share it with you.  

I made this little process video into a fun GIF, and will be sharing lots more behind the scenes looks over the next little while. I'll be back with the cover reveal soon, but if you're an eager beaver you can pre-order now from Booktopia (in Aus) and the Book Depository (worldwide). I'll also be sharing everything over on Instagram with the hashtag here: #HelloAustraliabyMeganMcKean.
