The Goanna Was Hungry

Imagine being at a camp in the Great Victorian Desert. Imagine being one of just ten lucky kids chosen to work with two of Australia’s best-loved author illustrators. In June 2015, The Indigenous Literacy Foundation brought together Sally Morgan and Ann James, and kids from Tjuntjuntjara, Mt Margaret, Menzies and Melbourne for a 5 day writing and illustrating camp on Spinifex Country. The illustrated stories they produced at the camp were so special we’ve put them together in a book for all to read and enjoy. This is the book.
