Overview

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. - Kiki the Kookaburra, whose laughter echoes across the bush and occasionally causes trouble. - 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.
