Tales from the Billabong

The Big Discovery

Story and pictures by Amanda Penrose.

Once a jolly creature lived by a billabong, under the shade of a coolibah tree.

Actually, he wasn't very jolly at all. He did love living by his billabong, and he loved lounging in the shade of the coolibah tree, but he felt that something was missing.

"I'm lonely", thought the Creature. "Perhaps it's time for me to leave the billabong and find some friends".

So that's just what he did.

Where should the Creature go from here?

To the Rainforest

To the River
