Brigalow Bilby’s Charleville Challenge Book

Brigalow is on a mission to help save her kind, the ‘Greater Bilby’, from extinction! Will she find the place of learning in the outback town of Charleville? Follow Brigalow on her bush adventure.

A wonderful story written by local author Carmen Holstein of “I am Bilby” fame. She wanted to put the plight of the bilby into a book to help tell their story in artistic form.

My roots are firmly embedded in the red mulga earth
Charleville is after all, the place of my birth
Bidjara country where the Warrego river traces
Full of community spirit and friendly faces
The start of the channel to the Murray-Darling Basin
I had to share the story of the future Greater Bilby is facing
