It started with a book – ABC Goulburn Murray (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Funny to see something take on its own life… this is a story and podcast about The Great Yackandandah Billy Cart Race, which started up five years ago – ten years after I’d written the book! It was just a fun little book, certainly not deep and meaningful, and it’s been out of print for years… but how lovely to hear that it’s started a real event.

How cute.
I really need to read your books. I saw it a the library the other day and thought about getting it for my son. I thought he's probably not old enough/ready for it. But then later I thought....I should have gotten it for myself!!!
I also want to go back and read some of my favorites from my childhood.
