My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch



From the internationally acclaimed author and illustrator, Graeme Base, comes a rollicking tale with a distinctly Australian flavour.

Grandma lived in Gooligulch,
Near Bandywallop East.
A fair way north of Murrumbum,
(Five hundred miles at least).

Meet Grandma, the larger-than-life character who calls the rugged, wild, and untamed Gooligulch home.

She's not your typical grandma, and Gooligulch is certainly not your typical neighbourhood.

Embark on an adventure to the heart of the Australian outback, a place filled with whimsy, wonder, and native wildlife.
