Mustara
The year is 1875. Thomas Elder of Beltana Station fits out explorer Ernest Giles final and successful expedition to find a way across the desert. Giles eventually returns, having twice traversed Australia using camels.
This magnificent picture book is child-centred, being told through the voices of Emmeline, the station owner’s daughter and Taj, an Afghan boy whose father is a camel driver. It follows the adventures of Taj’s camel, Mustara, who is considered too young and inexperienced to go on the Giles expedition until it saves the lives of Emmeline and Tai by returning them home safely when they become lost in the desert.
The simple but evocative storyline, accompanied by awe-inspiring illustrations of desert-scapes, make this an exciting read for children of all ages.
