About this word search
Autumn here runs from March to May and looks quite different depending on where you live. In Canberra and the Adelaide Hills, planted European trees turn red and gold, while across the north the change shows up as the start of the dry season. Gumnut and Possum give this list a local flavour, and Footy is on it because the season kicks off in March.
Entries slope, lie flat or hang straight down in the grid, and you will not need to read any of them in reverse. Umbrella, Mushroom and Harvest are good anchors for the longer stretches. Fog is the shortest and the easiest to overlook.
After a bushwalk, children can collect real gumnuts and leaves, lay them on the page and label each find with a word from the puzzle.
