Description First published in 1984, Wombat Stew is a modern-day phenomenon in children's literature and has sold more than 350,000 copies Australia-wide. Written by Marcia K Vaughan, with illustrations by Pamela Lofts, the simple story of a dingo who catches a wombat and decides to make wombat stew has been cleverly developed into a 'true-blue-dinky-di-big-Aussie-musical' complete with blobs of mud, very fine feathers, creepy crawlies, flies, gum-nuts and a big bubbling billy can! With a cast of 6 multi-talented performers, Wombat Stew is a 'mouth-watering' combination of story-telling, mime and music.
