Exploring the Netherlands: Water Management and Culture

Squiz the World goes to... The Netherlands

Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then, we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Amanda Bower, on an audio adventure.

Today, we’re heading to a country famous for colourful tulip fields, towering windmills, and bicycles—lots and lots of bicycles! It's a place where people live below sea level, speak a language full of double vowels, and enjoy stroopwafels with their tea. From world-changing art and inventions to canals you can skate on in winter, there’s loads to discover. So, buckle up and get ready to explore the Netherlands!
