SYNOPSIS ....
Two young tiger quolls, Dottie and Quentin, embark on a Quest - a difficult journey to discover 'something special' about every animal in their forest. They must cover a lot of ground, face many dangers and be back at their nest by dark.
Why have they been set this task and what will they find?
Why is it so important that they are home before the moon is high in the night sky?
Take a walk on the wild side with Dottie and Quentin to discover the many secrets of the Australian bush and learn that magic is all around us.
Join them on their quest, and learn the many secrets of the Australian bush. In this exuberant and joyful book, acclaimed artist Mark Trinham brings to life the exquisite animals. Meet Sugar Glider, Potoroo, Koala, Kangaroo, Otways Black Snail and friends, and enjoy the narrative created by author Ali Corke that introduces each animal, sharing their unique abilities and attributes.
Underwritten by ecologists from the Conservation Ecology Centre, the information is engagingly presented, and readers will learn much about the animals as they travel through the forest with Dottie and Quentin.
Without giving too much away, there is a twist in the tale – Dottie feels sure someone or something is watching them … who or what could it be? The young tiger quolls come to learn that while we live in a world full of mystery and magic, we must look after it, because like all precious things, it is fragile and easily broken. Much more than a reference book, this beautifully illustrated story is something special for our times.
About the Author
Ali Corke lives in Apollo Bay, on the fringes of the Great Otway National Park. Originally from the UK, where she was a great lover of nature, Ali was captivated by the Australian wildlife she met in the Otways. A writer for most of her life, Ali also assisted in school libraries and story-telling workshops where she observed how children love to read and to create their own stories about the
natural world. ‘Bush Tales’ started from challenging children to discover information about all the animals in the Otways forests, to see which are the most important. In ‘Bush Tales’ we find that every animal is precious and needs our care and protection – and that the bush is full of magic.
About the Illustrator

He lives in the Victorian coastal town of Jan Juc and aims to bring a focus to the natural environment and community, celebrating the spirit of the land through a wide variety of mediums and a longstanding involvement
with arts and environmental organisations.
Mark’s designs and public artworks can be seen throughout Australia, with clients including community, first nation and environment groups, shire councils, schools, landscape architects and land developers. He has participated in schools’ ‘Artist in Residence’ programs, created ‘Blue Earth’; environmental clothing, interpretative signage and illustrated the Landcare Wildlife Collector Card project. ‘Bush Tales’ is Mark’s first foray into book illustration, and he has used his experiences and skills to bring to life the marvellous animals that inhabit the Otways Ranges of south west Victoria.
