Welcome to Billabong Bend.
At the edge of a quiet Australian billabong stands a great old gumtree. Beneath its twisting roots and whispering leaves lives an unlikely little society of friends who look after the bend-and each other.
Meet the residents:
- Nori the Numbat, a thoughtful note-taker who believes every problem can be solved with a plan.
- Pip the Fairy Wren, tiny, brave, and extremely particular about shiny things.
- Wallace the Wombat, a steady burrow builder who fixes problems with calm practicality.
- Clement the Scorpion, dramatic poet, cultural critic, and reluctant hero.
- Marlow the Lizard, a quiet sun-philosopher who always seems to know more than he says.
Across twelve gentle and humorous adventures, the friends face the small mysteries and challenges of bush life:
- A tea party that melts in the heat
- A mysterious missing tail investigation
- A dramatic poetry night beneath the gumtree
- A battle of wits with careless visitors
- A nervous day when smoke appears on the horizon
- And a sunset that reminds them why their little society matters
Warm, funny, and full of the rhythms of the Australian bush, The Gumtree by Billabong Bend is a charming collection of stories about friendship, kindness, and caring for the place you call home.
Perfect for readers aged 7-11, fans of Paddington, The Wind in the Willows, and gentle animal adventures.
Settle beneath the gumtree...
There's always another story waiting at Billabong Bend.
