Silky Blue Grass (Dichanthium sericeum)
Swamp Foxtail Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Nafray’)
In 1932, almost 1 in 3 Australians were out of work. Sanitarium offered a series of gifts including linen and cookware, claimed using coupons found inside Weet-Bix packets.
Also the original Weet-Bix kid, Don Bradman, lifted the country's spirits by scoring a record 452 not out in one cricket innings. Another Aussie icon was the Sydney Harbour Bridge opening in 1932. Which i captured the spirit of this in my Bushels tin illustration.
