Digger's Dream

A historical narrative written and illustrated by Year Five student, Victoria Mok.


Edward was a British man, living with his Ma and Papa. On one terrible day, Papa got accused from stealing a necklace and got sent to the stocks. He couldn't survive for long in that horrible place with no food and water to eat or drink. Within a few days, he died. Edward and Ma didn't have a lot of money after that so they went to Australia to find some gold. A few days after they arrived, Ma got typhoid and Edward hadn't found any gold yet so he couldn't afford a doctor. 


Will Edward be able to find Gold? 


Will Ma survive?
