Book Description
The inspiration for this novel, I believe, has come from the never-ending interest in our kangaroos and saltwater crocodiles from people near and far. These two appear to attract more interest than most of our other animals. I heard on the radio that there was a need for more childrens books. This story reflects some of my loves: animals, the challenges of life, boiled fruit cake, the outback, and the interaction that can be achieved between animals and humans.

Book Description
This story was told by Agnes Lippo from the Aboriginal community of Belyuen in the Northern Territory, where people from the Larrakia and Waigite language groups live. The illustrations in this book are adapted from paintings of the story done by the children at Belyuen School. Bill Turner, Head Teacher at Belyuen School in 1987, said "'The Kangaroo and the Porpoise' is one of the many stories from the very small Aboriginal community of Belyuen. We hope publishing these stories will enable us to buy materials for the school. We want to continue to document the culture of the people at Belyuen."

The illustrations are adapted from their original paintings of the story. Hector Jandany and George Dingmarie of the Kija Language Group said, 'We have to keep this language which we got from our old people who have passed away. We don't want to lose it. The younger generation has to carry on the language that they learn from us.'
