Tasmania is far down at the bottom of the earth, so rich red cherry fruits, Prunus Avium, ripen right at Christmas time.

Tasmanian Christmas Beetles, Lamprima Aurarata, have a brilliant green shell and they appear magically at Christmas time too!

About the book

Icy Pole in the Winter

Kingston Tales “Icy Pole in the Winter” is a children’s book that follows a group friends, Bunkle Beepy, Rainbow Charlotte, and Lucas Sheepgone, at the beach.

Set in the cool air and bright sun, the friends argue about how to wash a hoodie, make cool machines, eat awesome food, and out smart pesky seagulls.

Set in the coastal suburb of Kingston, south of Hobart, the capital city of the Australian island state of Tasmania - and inspired by early twentieth century children's books, and modern tv animation - “Icy Pole in the Winter” is a book gem for ages 3-10.
