What happens when there is no telly? What happens when there is only a pot belly stove to set a glow in the little house at the bottom of the world? And what is it about this pot belly?

Something about the way it stands there in the corner of the room...Something about the way it looks. It isn't until we've all gone to sleep that the truth comes out...


In this book, making your own fun is the only option when you are far away from technology deep in the Aussie Bush. The magic pot belly stove makes his own fun, teaming up with Ned Kelly for iron-man races and adventure.

This is part of a charming and very different series of Australiana. The illustrations are quirky and fresh, and the story is playful and surprising and told in rhyme.

Includes: Hide-and-find fun: There are 23 Ned Kelly helmets hidden in the illustrations.

Maree Coote

One of the very first to identify the contemporary rise of Melbourne’s cultural and place power, Maree Coote has won The Royal Historical Society of Victoria’s Gold Prize for ‘The Art of Being Melbourne’. Her unique command of history, culture, art and design is made accessible for a wide variety of audiences, including children.

Coote was the first to create a children’s picture book for Melbourne kids, ‘When You Go To Melbourne’. According to Philip Adams, “Melbourne never had a more ingenious ambassador.” Coote’s first book The Melbourne Book: A History of Now is in its fourth edition after 12+ years in print, and has been dubbed ‘Melbourne’s Bible’.
