Do You Believe in Dragons? by Paul Currin. Illustrated by Maree Power

Paul Currin was raised and educated on his family property north of Julia Creek. He and his wife Kath have four children, and this book evolved as a bedtime story.

Do You Believe in Dragons? is a fantasy based on a real life sheep property in regional Queensland.Ted and his younger brother Bill, along with their best friends Doug and Sarah,  are on their school holidays enjoying everyday rural activities, including riding horses, motorbikes, going fishing and chasing feral pigs. Their holiday takes a strange turn when one of them has an unlikely encounter with a magical dragon which can't be seen by anyone who doesn't believe he is real.
