The Gum Family Finds Home
Author: Tania McCartney
Illustrator: Christina Booth
Publisher: National Library of Australia
Language(s): English
The Gum family is in search of a new home, something more stable than
their flimsy old gum tree, which they share with buzzy bees and their
dear friend Kooka.
After the caravan and combie are packed with gum-leaf sandwiches and eucalyptus juice, the family sets off around Australia to find a brand-new, rock-solid abode.
Told through a series of family snapshots and postcards, the story follows the family as it explores some of Australia's geological landmarks. From Uluru and Kings Canyon, to the Blue Mountains and the Twelve Apostles, the family considers the pros and cons of each location as a potential home.
