Book Description
Lillipilly Hill is a delightful coming-of-age story that is all at once sweet and adventurous, sensitive and exciting. Lillipilly Hill is the story of Harriet Wilmot and her family, who have come to live in an inherited house in the New South Wales town of Barley Creek at the end of the nineteenth century. Harriet is in awe of Australia, despite the heat and unconventional schooling, and much prefers it to dreary old London. Not all of the Wilmots agree however and Harriet breaks rules and expectations in her efforts to convince her family to stay in this new and exciting land. Following an altercation with another boy Harriet's brother Aidan even attempts to walk, in the middle of the night, to the harbour. Battling the kind of darkness you only get in the country and impenetrable swampland Aidan comes across a mysterious young man with a dog who will change his perspective on Australia and even life itself.

Book Description
Harriet loved her new home in Australia, but not so her mother, Mrs Wilmot and her dainty sister Rose-Ann who pined for the orderly London life they had left behind. In the face of the difficulty of the harsh land and the ever present threat of bush rangers it seemed almost certain that Mr. Wilmot would be persuaded to take them back to England, but Harriet, determined to stay, sets about establishing the family so completely in the Barley Creek community that they would no longer want to leave.
