About this word search
Liquidambar is a North American tree planted widely along Australian streets for its red and purple autumn leaves, and its spiky seed balls end up all over the footpath. The Macadamia tells the opposite story: a nut native to eastern Australia that is now grown in many other countries.
Anzac Day, Easter, March and April also sit in the grid, which turns it into a small calendar of the season. With twenty-eight words free to run any way at all, reversed lines included, begin with Hibernation and Apple picking, then hunt for the two Qs, one in Liquidambar and one in Equinox.
A warm follow-up for a wet afternoon: write a short recipe for Pumpkin soup that squeezes in as many other words from the list as possible.
