'There was a sacred hill, It had been there for as long as time itself. Mobs of kangaroos, living on the sacred hill, looked after the land and the land looked after them. Blue, Treez, Potsy and Rocko are happy on the sacred hill until some rowdy myna birds disturb the peace. The roos are forced to leave their land, but thoughts of the hill are never far away. Soon they unite, embarking on an adventure that will lead them back home to the sacred hill. Accompanied by activities to complete at home or in the classroom, The Sacred Hill is an inspiring tale, showing that courage and friendship can go a long way.' (Source: TROVE)
