* Description: COLIN THIELE has been an educator for most of his life. After vhis discharge from the R. A. A. F. in 1945 he spent eleven years on the staff of Wattle Park Teachers College -- half of that time as principal. At the beginning of 1973 he became director of Murray Park College of Advanced Education, but resigned this position in the same year to become the director of Wattle Park Teachers Centre. Now retired, he devotes himself to his writing.

During the past thirty years Colin Thiele has become known as one of Australia's most versatile writers. He has won many literary awards for a wide range of work including poetry, radio plays, biography, educational texts, short stories, and children's books. In 1977 he was made Companion of the Order of Australia. He and his wife, a successful artist, have two daughters and live in Wattle Park, South Australia.


Bottlebrush Barn, the home of the Pine family, lies half-way between Melbourne and Adelaide. A peaceful place of cattle and sheep, possums and unusual pets, pasture and scrub, the farm is linked to the township of Upper Gumbowie by a winding road that skirts the uncleared Big Scrub. Along the road a school bus lollops and lurches, carrying the children of the district -- the three young Pines, Don and Debbie Dobson, "Burp" Heaslip, and others -- to school.

The story is concerned with their daily adventures -- fishing for yabbies, taming unusual pets, exhibiting in the local Show, astonishing their teachers, using turpentine to cure their dogs of scurf, and all the rest. Like all Thiele's fiction, the book is more than a collection of lively anecdotes. It is the story of the fearful February Dragon -- the Bushfire -- and how, unleashed by the stupidity or the arrogant carelessness of people such as Aunt Hester, it brings tragedy to hundreds of innocent victims every year.

This moving story, which was written with the encouragement of the Bushfire Research Council of South Australia, contains a message for all Australians, young and adult alike. It is a rattling good yarn in the tradition of Colin Thiele's earlier fiction, Storm Boy and Sun on the Stubbie.
This was copied from the back of the book, but much of the info is out of date, as the author has since passed.
