What is The Croc And The Platypus about?

In this delightful Australian twist on Edward Lear's classic poem, a crocodile and a platypus set off on an adventure across the outback in a rusty old Holden ute. They pack damper and tea in a hamper, journey through the Nullarbor Plain, visit a shearing shed, and camp under the Southern Cross near Uluru. Along the way, they encounter iconic Australian sights and sounds, making for a rhythmic and engaging tale that introduces young readers to the wonders of the Australian landscape.
