Week 10 - mashups - explore, discover, adventure

The whole idea of a mashup is pretty exciting. I like the idea of taking the map of Australia (or NSW) and overlaying it with book covers of stories set in particular towns, areas, states. Even a mashup showing authors and their home towns, etc. To further this reading map concept have a join-the-dots type scenario where readers can read their way across a state, along a highway, from the Top End to the Bite. Themed mashups have such options and creativity that the sky is reasonably endless - romance in rural NSW, crime across Victoria, early Australian life from discovery to Federation, ...... the possible list is limitless.
