Indigenous children aged seven to 12 from Cunnamulla in South West Queensland are now published authors with the release of 'Outback Country', a collection of short stories published by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

The book was created during a school holiday workshop led by ILF Ambassador Ms Bianca Hunt at the Cunnamulla Aboriginal Corporation for Health.

The workshop encouraged children to write and illustrate stories drawn from their own experiences and imagination, ranging from fishing and local adventures to tales featuring characters like King Kong and Godzilla.

Ms Hunt said she was impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm shown by the young participants.

"The kids of Cunnamulla are something else - from the second they came into the room I knew they were going to make something special," she said.

Kooma Elder and author Herb Wharton also joined the workshop to speak with the children about storytelling and the importance of sharing their voices as future authors and illustrators.

Cunnamulla community member Allen (Monk) Wharton, whose grandchildren took part said the book held significance beyond its pages.

"The book itself can serve as a promotional tool to connect generations within the Community - it may spark discussions about experiences, history and values that are crucial in preserving the Community's history," he said.

"It may also be used as a tool to encourage other children to engage in reading and writing, fostering a culture of creativity and learning.

"Witnessing the children write this book provided me with a sense of legacy."

He added how proud he is of the children and their achievements.

"To say that I am proud of what the kids achieved would be an understatement. Well done to all involved."

'Outback Country' offers insight into the world of young storytellers from a small regional town in Queensland.

The paperback is available for $14.99 through the ILF shop and other retailers.

The ILF is a national charity that partners with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities to create culturally relevant books and programs supporting literacy and storytelling in Community languages.
