AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Sandy doesn't win a prize on school prize day - which is not surprising, because he doesn't pay attention in class. Still, he feels a little bit disappointed. He suddenly remembers a "Treasure" left behind at the homestead where he lives by a visiting Aboriginal tribe many years before. It is a "hard little bundle" wrapped in bark and tied with string. Perhaps its magic can help him. Sandy then has a great adventure that leads to even greater understanding.
