This book made history in the sphere of juvenile literature. it is an imaginative presentation of Australian wonders wherein each fancy, however magical, is the Spirit of an actual fact. it is when nine-year-old Del meets golden-brown Bushbo that all the wonderful things begin to happen. The climax is when Australia herself, Magni?cent and ancient one, speaks yearningly to Bushbo her vegetation, and Del her mortal youth. Adventuring through the length and breadth of our continent in forest, desert, underground, undersea and upper air Del and Bushbo are everywhere greeted by some quaint, lovable, or fearsome personality of Australian geography: Willie-willie the town-lifting hurricane. Broome, sitting on the edge of the map, bedecked in poinciana and pearls. Spinifex, wiry-haired friend of animals and man. Macdonnell Ranges, the green giant of fabulous wealth. Desert Pea. Water the artesian Basin, imprisoned below earth level
