Book Release: "Silent Sentinel, the Story of a Redgum"
2025-03-26
A gnarled old redgum stands by the creek. It has witnessed many changes since it first sprouted among the ancient basalt stones more than three centuries ago. This book is an artist’s impression of the stories it could tell; of the Wurundjeri people who followed the rhythm of the seasons to the arrival of strangers who settled and made their new home among the gumtrees. It tells of change that came as both the tree and the city continued to grow, and the grasslands disappeared. It is a story of human impact on the land, but ends on a note of hope for the future as people become aware of the tree, standing as a silent sentinel on the land which is our legacy.
With its beautiful, detailed artwork, this book is dedicated to all who care about our country, its history and its unique ecology.
Recommended for readers of all ages; from looking at the pictures and talking about what you see with very young children, to fostering curiosity and raising questions with older children, and bringing up nostalgic memories for those of us who remember the land as it was.
