The adventures of Nungaree and Jungaree in search of their baby brother. Here and there, the whirlwind is a tease and a thief. They find themselves in many strange places and in some odd company before they reach his home in Nowhere.

Story of two Aboriginal children who undertake a search for their baby brother who has been taken by a whirlwind. The story adapts aspects of Aboriginal Dreaming stories to give substance to their tale of a lost child and the search for him by his older siblings. It also draws upon European folk tale traditions to produce a children’s fantasy with a strong Australian flavour.
