Side By Side In The Beginning by Australian author-illustrator N McMullin is a 2010 picture book that pairs vivid outback scenes with gentle, rhythmic text perfect for bedtime or classroom story time. The 38-page paperback invites ages 4–8 to explore early Australian history through a field-sports lens, making it a unique crossover for collectors of antiquarian children’s literature and sports titles alike.

Richly illustrated on every spread, the book doubles as an art-and-culture piece for older readers and a collectible keepsake for anyone hunting Australiana. One Day Hill’s first edition is becoming harder to find in tidy condition, especially smoke-free copies with tight bindings.

This used copy shows only light cover scuffing and a single crease on the rear; pages remain crisp, unmarked, and free of dog-ears. Clean page-block and solid spine mean it’s ready for reading circles, gifting, or display on a vintage picture-book shelf.
