Amongst our forests and woodlands there are untouched pockets where time stands still.
This is a story of one such place and the creatures that dwell there.
This is the story of Bollygum.
Set in the Australian bush, the story introduces young readers to some of Australia’s unique flora and fauna. It is a tale of mateship, courage and adventure with an environmental message.
Written and Illustrated by Garry Fleming, Bollygum has captured the hearts of Australian children since it was first published in 1995. In 2013 Bollygum was chosen as one of the gifts given by the Victorian Government to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate, on the birth of Prince George.
The book was designed to read one page per night to younger children or for older children to read themselves, because of this, we have found that the reading age for Bollygum spans from 5-11 years.
