National Year Group Winners
The Search of the Eye Monsters
Ryan Yoon, NSW - Maroubra Junction Public School
These are the google eye monsters. These monsters search all google searches. Their names are Groch, Omin, Ohmy, Greech, Lery and Evilbo. They are always eager to search anything. Groch is the father. He's the one with the moustache.
Tesna Tedy, ACT - Saints Peter and Paul Primary School
If I was an explorer, I would climb the Snowy Mountains to build snowmen and have snowball fights with my friends.
Red Bull Ant Nest
James Mahaffy, WA - Scotch College Junior School
I would like to explore the underground world of ants. The Red Bull Ant is found throughout Australia. Their nest extends down to seven metres deep! The queen ant spends most of her life laying eggs, whilst the soldier ants being big and aggressive, defend the nest.
Indhi Kotzur, VIC - Rutherglen Primary School
If I was an explorer I would explore the monsters in my closet. I chose this topic because most of the kids my age are scared of monsters but I know I'm not. But monsters to me are fantastic! Thank you.
Angus Fahey, NT - Moil Primary School
If I was an explora I would go to a science lab and make letters turn into trees and make glasses for people that can’t see. Right now this random guy is looking at scientific smoke.
Joe Watkins, TAS - Edith Creek Primary School
If I was an explorer, I would go to another planet and prove that there is life! The alien's name is Tim from another galaxy.
At the Beach
Demi Schwarz, SA - Lobethal Lutheran School
At the beach I would go swimming and explore. I could even discover a new type of shell. I would also explore the cool rock pools. It would be fun to build a sand castle and look at all the fish.
Annie Doyle, QLD - St Mary's Primary School Goondiwindi
If I were an explorer I would go to the jungle and the beach. I could see all the animals in the jungle and in the sea. I would climb a tree.
Where dinosaurs roam
Tara McIntyre, NSW - Cronulla Public School
If I were an explorer, I would travel to the dusty and barren land of the Australian outback. Once there, I would dig deep into the red earth to discover dinosaur bones and artifacts from years gone by.
Exploring the World
Lachlan Wood, ACT - Aranda Primary
If I were an explorer I would explore the world, and go find hidden temples, I would go into space and look for hidden objects on Mars. I would soar though the sky in a hot air balloon finding relics in the jungle, down in the undergrowth looking for golden objects and deadly animals.
Tia Harisis, WA - Brentwood Primary School
If I was an explorer I would explore the way molluscs work because it seems they are among the only types of animal that go mainly unrecognised. They fascinate me in their simplicity, yet they are complicated at the same time. I wish they were acknowledged more.
My mind world
Maddison Wandel, VIC - Iramoo Primary School
I would like to look inside my mind and be able to remember and visualise all of my memories and all the things I have done. That would be an adventure!
If I was an explorer I would explore the forest
Hia Chowdhury, NT - Moil Primary School
If I were an explorer, I would explore the forest because it is a fantastic place. I can see the fish swimming in the creek, watch the birds and rainbow coloured flowers proudly tilting their heads to the sun. I want to hear the sound of birds singing and water flowing.
Isaac Burns, TAS - St Aloysius Catholic College
I have chosen space exploration for my drawing because space is the only place that is not completely explored. I also chose space because I like space and there are lots of things I can draw that involve space exploration.
Building The Future
Kristy Allison, SA - St Martin de Porres School
An unexplored world that lies between dirt and rubbish but when you clean it up you will see the coolest side to it. Clean up the gravel, plant some flowers and paint the town, build it to its best so everyone can enjoy. Let’s go and explore a city today.
Sameen Arshad, QLD - Ipswich Girls' Grammar School
If I were an explorer I would go to a swamp in Australia to study the fearsome animals there and how they live. I would also go there to study the different plants and compare it to the other plants in Australia. I would also compare the animals in the swamp to other animals in Australia to see the differences.
Nancy Nguyen, NSW - Canley Vale High School
The Daintree has unique plants and animals that can be found nowhere else in the world. The native fauna include the Paradise Kingfisher, Ulysses Butterfly, Ring Tail Possum and the Jabiru. The Daintree should be preserved for future generations to explore.
Ride Around the World
Jorga Attard, NSW - St Pauls High School
If I were an explorer I would… travel into the future and cycle to all of the major cities of the world! I think it would be magical to observe the stunning surrounds, compare different cultures and watch the bright city lights appear upon night. Perhaps even get a little shopping done too!
Ineka Voigt, ACT - Canberra High School
If I was an explorer I would sail the Seven Seas for answers… Why is the sea blue? Why do waves break? Why does an octopus have eight legs? Why does a compass point north? Why Google?
Braydon Watkins, WA - Australind Senior High School
This Google picture I have drawn shows the exploration of the deep blue see. This drawing shows the colourful coral and the brilliant schools of fish that swim around. I chose to draw the ocean because so little has been explored of it.
Ruebi Smith, VIC - Box Hill High School
Since I was young, I have dreamt of growing up surrounded by unique creatures such as furry frogs, stripy giraffes and other hybrid animals. If I was an explorer I would love to explore the world to find such creatures or even become involved in biology to create and discover new crossbreads.
Jack Fisher, TAS - Riverside High School
If I was an explorer, I would explore the dark side of humanity. The human mind is arguably the least known of all things on earth, and in our world of laws and etiquette, there are so many more possibilities in exploration of the darker side than of the light.
The world of Visual Art
Abbey Mugford, SA - North Haven School
Exploration is the key to creating Visual Art. Colours can be mixed and matched in endless combinations; you just need to explore. I have included paint and swirls and contrasting colours to highlight the way that visual art can capture the eye and open the mind to new possibilities.
Once in a blue moon
Natalia Weier, QLD - Marburg State School
I chose ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ to explore because it is such a rare and beautiful thing. I included the owl because it is also rare and amazing. The woods are there because they are the owl’s home and they are very mysterious. That’s why I chose this topic.
Olivia Kong, NSW - Hornsby Girls High School
"Brain Matter" is about the exploration of the mind. It explores how the left side of a brain is about logical, mathematical and rational and how the right side is creative, explosive and colourful. Together, they create our perspective of further exploration of the world.
Kodie Francis, WA - Melville SHS
My design has been inspired by my love for skateboarding. If I were an explorer I would skateboard around the world showing my skills and inspiring others to do the same. Skateboarding gives me freedom and is a quiet and clean way to travel.
Rebecca Guan, VIC - The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School
If I was an explorer I would delve into the world of steampunk. Of old brass and copper, steam-powered mechanical workings, scientific anachronisms, and endless possibilities. A world of magic, adventure, and most of all, limitless imagination.
Denella Corbett-Bryan, NT - Tennant Creek High School
As a first Australian I'd like to explore Africa and discover the similarities and differences of our culture and traditions. I want to see the amazing animals like monkeys and giraffes, and wander across safari plains admiring cactus in bloom.
Michayla Harris, TAS - Riverside High School
If I was an explorer I would open the door to my imagination. I would explore a world I created.
The Human Body
Danielle White, SA - St Mark's College
If I was an explorer, I would explore the human body. I would look deeper and explore things from a different point of view to see what makes the body function. Exploring the human body would be an interesting adventure because the way each organ and each micro organism functions is fascinating.
Save the koala
Meg Franco, SA - St Ignatius College
My Doodle for Google drawing is about the Australia Koala Foundation. This September is Save the Koala Month and if I was an explorer, I would set out to explore the Australian outback and work to help our endangered species, the Koalas.
Life On Another Planet
Meg Veness, QLD - Townsville Grammar School
Travel past the Earth's atmosphere and land on a completely different planet to find another species of life. I would discover aliens and new weird and wonderful plants. I would stand on a different planet and look back at Earth along with the night sky and its millions of planets…
