Here is little storyline, Jay lives with his parents and little sister Glory-Alice in a small town called Bungawitta. He comes up with the idea of a festival to raise money: the very first Bungawitta Earth Sculpture Festival. He suggests they encourage tourists from the city to visit and compete in a clay sculpture building competition. The locals love the idea, and begin work on planning and promoting the festival.
But when Festival Day arrives, the locals must struggle with their own private doubts.
After all their hard work, will anyone even come? Does their humble town have what it takes to entertain a city crowd? Why on earth has the ABC promised ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back?’ And will the ABC TV crew turn up to film the awarding of first prize, as promised?
The story takes delightful twists and turns as the Bungawitta Earth Sculpture Festival progresses, culminating in an outcome that nobody would have expected.
The themes in Bungawitta includes the problems Australian country towns are facing, the city/country divide, problem-solving, the power of teamwork, cooperation, community, friendship and individual talent.
