“Bush Bash” By Sally Morgan, Ambelin Kwaymullina (Illustrator)
Dingo is headed somewhere looking excited, and the other animals want to know where he's going. Dingo won’t say, so the others follow along in hot pursuit – two nosy numbats, three flying frogs, four burrowing bilbies...
The animals are in for a surprise when Dingo’s final destination is revealed on the last page.
As well as being a counting book, this is a seek-and-find story. There is one Aboriginal artefact plus one non-native animal on each colourful spread.

About Sally Morgan
About Sally Morgan
Sally Morgan is one of Australia’s most celebrated Aboriginal artists and storytellers—an author and painter whose work has touched generations.
From a young age, Sally was drawn to art and writing, but her creative spirit was overlooked in school, where her unique style went unrecognised. It wasn’t until she began uncovering her family’s history and reconnecting with her Aboriginal heritage that her artistic voice truly came alive. That journey gave her the confidence to create with purpose—and the rest is history.
Her groundbreaking memoir My Place became a literary phenomenon, selling over half a million copies in Australia and becoming a cornerstone of Indigenous literature. Sally has since written a number of beloved picture books for children, including Little Piggies, Hurry Up Oscar, and collaborations with acclaimed artist Bronwyn Bancroft such as Dan’s Grampa. She also teamed up with her children—Ambelin, Blaze and Ezekiel—to co-write Curly and the Fent, a beautiful example of storytelling across generations.
Now a Professor at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies at the University of Western Australia, Sally lives in Perth, where she continues to inspire with her words, art, and unwavering dedication to truth-telling and cultural connection.
