Arriving in a tiny Aboriginal community in far north Queensland, Paula had little idea what to expect. Seven Seasons in Aurukun is her very personal story of teaching at the local school and making a life for herself in a challenging new world. In the unrelenting tropical heat, she discovers there's an immediacy and intensity in everything. From the mischievous children in her bilingual classroom to the local politics, nothing is quite what it seems.

What an amazing and informative book. I found this to be exciting as I am looking at doing my placement next year. Reading this book will give you an insight into the happy times and hard times teachers in Remote Indigenous Schools have. I strongly recommend this text to anyone wanting to do a Remote Placement and to teachers who are either afraid or fasinated by the thought of a remote placement.
It is a fantastic read. Full of lave, laughter and adventure. Good on you Paula for writing this book for the world to see Aurukun through your eyes.
