Are We There Yet? A Journey Around Australia is a 2004 children's picture book by Australian author and illustrator Alison Lester. It is about a girl named Grace going on a road trip around Australia. [2]
Set on Australia, Grace, an eight year old girl, is taken on a road trip around Australia with her family. Before the trip started, the family had practiced living in their grandfather's caravan for three months. Before they leave, Grace helps her grandmother pin a big map of Australia so they can follow their journey.
During the trip, the family sightsees multiple destinations, including the Barossa Valley and camping on the edge of Flinders Ranges. The family also sees Streaky Bay, Murphy's Haystacks, the Nullarbor Plain, and the Great Australian Bight. The family then goes to Rottnest Island, Perth, the Pinnacles, Monkey Mia to see whales, Turquoise Bay, Broome, Tunnel Creek National Park, Tanami Track, Uluru, the Katherine Gorge, Kakadu National Park, Gunlom Falls, the Barkly Highway, et cetera.
At the end of the road trip, Grace hugs her pet animals.
