The Macquarie Atlas of Indigenous Australia

Chapter topics look at Australian prehistory, Indigenous languages, land ownership, the colonial period, place names, and reconciliation and modern politics. (Winner of Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing - Best Textbook 2006.)
The Interactive Macquarie Atlas of Indigenous Australia is also available through MacquarieNet where you can:
- Find information on a wide range of aspects of Indigenous life including socioeconomic, political and geographical aspects

The Macquarie Spellchecker
The Macquarie Spellchecker, based on the Macquarie Dictionary Fourth Edition, is a completely up-to-date and comprehensive spellchecker of Australian English.
Other spellcheckers highlight many Australian words as incorrect. Not just slang terms, but important, everyday words. Many common words, such as colour, travelled and realised, are spelt differently in the US and would be brought up as errors by many current spellcheckers.
At last...a spellchecker that doesn’t mark you wrong when you type correct Australian English.
