About the Author

Alistair Pirie is a Melbourne based writer and sculptor who grew up in the then-unfashionable, working class western suburbs of Melbourne. He takes inspiration from his childhood growing up in a time when children had a stronger connection to their environment. He aims to encourage the next generation to care for the land as the original people cared for it, to try and restore it to something like its original condition. This book is the first in a series which follows the adventures of the children and other people and animals which they encounter on their way.
