I am *thinking* again/still/maybe about using Beyond for my DD6 next year and I was wondering if there are any Australians out there (Corrie?!) who have used Beyond and what Australian history books you have used either as a substitute for the American history ones or alongside them? I do like the look of the American ones... I think I would still use them as they were Godly men and women, and it doesn't really matter what their nationality was. I would like to add in some Australian history too, though.
I am in Australia too!! But we are using preparing, so I can't help sorry But would be very interested in the reply as I ahve one coming up who will use that manual.
A newbie from Australia
dd (7) and ds(10) preparing dd (4) LHTH ds (1) trying to join in.
my response to Nicole was that I use HOD as is, I do not alter the books used as they work together so well. I just have an Oz history read-a-loud book that we do when I think about it and we talk about it afterwards.

Hi Anne! I am going to use Preparing next year, so I will be glad to hear any of your replies too! Nice to know there are others that use HOD too! Nicole
Ok so I am not from Australia but I just wanted to say it has been my life long dream to visit there. Hopefully one day.
