For Lorna McDougall it was stranger still - last Christmas she had woken to English snow, and the green, summer weather made her homesick. But soon the two families got together, and there was talk of picnics, barbecues and a trip to Bunyip falls. Would she see a real Bunyip. Lorna wondered fearfully? What she did find made it the very best Christmas she had ever had.' (Publication summary)
