What a treat it was, to drive through our magnificent countryside. Loads of stock feed, fat cattle and sheep grazing happily.  The Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers flowing at their fullest. I liken it to a leisurely walk along the beach, so good for the soul.

Doreen was very fortunate to read to the lower years at West Island School in Hong Kong. She shared many of her short stories which have recently been translated into Mandarin. The Wicky Wacky Farm Series bilingual (English/Mandarin) editions are now used in schools across China.
