The Pobblebonk Earth Detective Club
BOOK REVIEW BY: MAJELLA BRANSON (AGED 9)
The book starts when kids Pete, Fee and Ozzie are taken to live on their Grandmother’s farm in Frogsville. Due to the fact that the local school doesn’t work out, mischief is their daily routine. With a big problem on the farm the kids form the Pobblebonk Earth Detective Club!! Great informative adventures ensue.
This is a really great book I will read again and again, there are amazing illustrations, it’s simply a beautiful book with a great storyline that kids like me will enjoy.

The NSW government has dragged the anchor on meaningful marine protection in NSW for 6 years, ignoring evidence and stalling their own reform process initiated three Premiers ago in 2010. Key stakeholders fatigued by years of consultation with no substantive progress to show for it, fear there is little true commitment from this government to strengthen marine protection.
