About The Bunyip and the Stars

Ngariin and Wumbirr are BRAVE and TOUGH and SUPER SMART. But when a terrible bunyip captures Wumbbirr, can Ngariin use everything she knows about Country to outwit him? Journey through the Australian bush and discover the importance of courage, family bonds, and understanding the land.
