Bush Magic

This delightful story is about the power of imagination, appreciating the natural world and spending quality time with the ones you love.

Jarrah and Grandpa love spending time together exploring the bush around their home. But one miserable Sunday it's too rainy to venture outside, so instead Jarrah and Grandpa float away on a dreamlike quest where they meet magical creatures, save their stranded bush friends from a flood and have their most exciting adventure together yet.
