In the first book in the series, 'Buckley the Kilcoy Yowie', we met Buckley, the innocent and loveable Dreamtime legend. Following the loss of Archie in the Great War, Buckley felt responsible for giving his family false hope that both sons would return unscathed from the War. He blamed himself for the family's sadness and felt that the only solution was to go on a short 'Walkabout'.In this second book we discover that time is but a blink of an eye to Yowies. Ninety years pass by before Buckley is finally re-united with his family and his town. He then sets about on a mission to put Kilcoy on the World map.Join Buckley as he gets to know the new members of his family, and the new friends he meets along the way.

Let the magic of a Dreamtime legend take you back to a more innocent time in history. Buckley the Yowie is immortal, loveable, and magical, but is misjudged and feared by the First Australians. A chance meeting with an escaped convict sets Buckley on a journey of discovery, and love, for his first ever companion, his new found family, and his soon to be home town of Kilcoy, in Queensland's Outback. This first edition, in a series of stories, celebrates this noble character of the Australian Outback who will soon become famous for his innocence, knowledge and wisdom. Buckley's first adventure is packed with great moments and characters, including the building of an outback town, and the sadness and pride brought by the Great War. A must have for any young reader who has ever imagined sitting under the stars listening to stories from true history and legend.
