Dame Mary Daly, D.B.E., crafts a warm and vivid narrative that immerses young readers in the sights, sounds, and rhythms of rural Australian life — from the wide open paddocks to the daily rituals of station work. The story captures the wonder and curiosity of children discovering a world far removed from city routines, blending gentle adventure with an authentic sense of place.\n\nBrought to life through illustrations by a remarkable ensemble of leading Australian artists — including Sir Russell Drysdale, Sir William Dargie, and Lady Casey (Marie Casey), among others — the book is as much a visual celebration of Australian art as it is a literary one. Dame Mary Daly's storytelling is accessible yet richly detailed, making it a treasure for both young readers and collectors of Australiana. A rare and culturally significant work, Holidays at Hillydale leaves readers wondering what other secrets and surprises await beyond the homestead gate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609694572763,"sku":"2026200018572-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b0f4ea8d-4ec8-4aaf-9478-d44b353097b4.png?v=1791764667","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018572-secondhand-holidays-at-hillydale-a-story-for-children-about-a-familys-holiday-spent-on-an-australian-sheep-station","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
