Description
Sam doesn't like the outdoors and would be happy if it all disappeared. But when he goes to stay with his grandmother he learns that the outdoors has an abundance of things to offer. Sam's Bush Journey is brimming with themes that will promote discussion amongst young readers: journeys, the environment, storytelling, aboriginal knowledge of the bush and intergenerational knowledge.
