Locally for kids

It is not often that books are produced for children about the local area, but Bob Heddle has written three on the Mallee.
The trilogy about Zac and Ria and the Valemink family - 'The monster tower and the Gannawarra Goppo', 'The mischievous witch of Wychitella' and 'Chinkapook and the Manangatang mountain munyips' all take place in the Gannawarra area in the northern Mallee, where some of the strangest and wildest things in the world happen.

The books are aimed at the primary school 8+ age range, with a number of black-&-white and water-colour illustrations (also by Bob Heddle) scattered through the text.
