Summary Note |
Common ground: I kept thinking, 'What have we got ourselves into?' I remembered how Aunt Evonne said that even if only one of us wanted to go home, we would. I wondered if I was gunna be that one.' Maree, Zeke and J don't know what to expect when they visit their Nan's traditional land to help with a land rights claim. And things get tougher than they could ever have imagined. |
Dallas Davis: Alright, we'll go find a bull ants' nest and an old fire pit. Get your torches out guys and let's look!' 'A bull ants' nest?' said Christopher. 'A fire pit?' asked Nicole. ' Yeah, that's what we need', I said. iguessed I must have sounded crazy.' Dallas is angry when he has to visit his family's land instead of going to the footy. Then he learns just how important his knowledge of the land is. |
Demon guards the school yard: Who is vandalising the bush tucker garden at Yirra's school? Could it be Yirra's best friend, the husky dog Demon? Or will Demon save the day? |
