Book Description
A circle of pine trees, a sagging wire fence, and a roof that was once painted red. ‘There it is,’ said Dad. In 1953, after doctors prescribed fresh country air for his health, Scottish-born Robert Wales uprooted his young family from the city life of Sydney and set out to establish a sheep farm in the bush. What he lacked in experience and expertise, he made up for in enthusiasm. Or so he hoped. When the family arrived on a lonely hill in northern New South Wales, they had no electricity, no running water, no telephone and no choice but to make that tangle of bush their home. From Angela Wales, eldest of the five kids, comes this extraordinarily vivid and evocative account of the next ten years as they tried to tame six thousand acres and navigate the challenges of country life. Filled with drama and hilarity, joy and back-breaking toil, Barefoot in the Bindis portrays a childhood spent in the bush, and is a sensational picture of Australia past.

Book Description
Have you ever seen an old, toothless cross-eyed snake. Well Penny has. She sees him every day, lazing in the sun. He dreams of chicken dinners and watches the busy, plump, little chooks clucking all around him, but he is just too slow and Penny knows that is way too fast for old Cedric.... The delightful words in The Goose is Loose are written with a smile and a hint of mischief, while the beautiful pictures bring to life the colourful, impish characters. A goose with a penchant for biting bums. A large, happy bull who thinks he is a dog, the dazzling duck who believes that he is the best and a kangaroo who fancies bread and chocolate biscuits, are just some of the quirky characters in this book. The funny animals come to life in this collection of humorous poems about life on Poppy's farm. Designed to remind children and adults that poems can tell an interesting story and that rhyming can be fun.
