We of the Never Never

Life in an area of New South Wales, which isn't quite as far away as Back O' Bourke, or North of the Black Stump, but which is still called the Never Never, because people are sometimes told to never, never go there, when it is just as wild as tales of the old Wild West which baby boomers of the 1950's would view in Saturday matinee cinema shows.

The Good, The Bad and The Alien

[it's actually a kids' Dr Who novel I picked up at a book-share shelf this week; um....]

Tom's Midnight Garden

Tom was staying in London, in a block of flats with only a bit of drying space attached, but when one night he was awoken by the grandfather clock in the downstairs foyer striking 13 times, he looked out his window to find there was a lovely garden in place of the drying space, with a tree in the centre. Planning to look for those magic rings he had been reading about in his library book, if he heard the clock striking 13 times again, he was disappointed that when he did hear the clock strike13, he only saw a storm blowing down the tree. 

Wombat Stew

A children's story about an wombat family that runs a diner for truck drivers, with the signature dish usually referred to as  "Wombat Stew". (Their menu does, however, point out that no wombats are used in it)
