The Bunyip’s Bath

About the Book

Everyone has heard of bunyips, of course, but what are they really like? The story of the bunyip’s bath tells of a very unfriendly bunyip who, left on his own, does not make friends with the other animals in the beautiful area of Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. It is up to all the animals and birds to band together for their survival. In a plot to stop the bunyip and his mean ways, they make new friends, and their tale becomes part of the new landscape. Inspired by the Dove Lake walk and influenced by other friends of the National Park.

About the Author

Elisha was born in a small northwestern town of Tasmania where her family had been long established. She developed a love of books and stories even before starting school. As time went on, she became the eldest child of six, which meant a busy household, so books soon became her personal realm of escape. Her inspiration for storytelling was reawakened after a long break, as she used it to entertain her growing daughter. Drawing on her surrounding landscapes, she entwined an old-world style of storytelling with characters of fantasy, folklore, fur, feathers, and fins. Now she wants to share some of those stories with the next generation of children to inspire and share the magic of engaging with their surroundings, wherever that may be.
