Cattle Dogs in Canberra

 

 

Meet WomBog and VishVash — Two Cattle Dogs, Endless Adventures!

WomBog (the brainy blue heeler) and VishVash (the mischievous red rocket) are two spirited Australian Cattle Dogs with a nose for fun and a tail for adventure. Together, they explore the wild, wonderful, and sometimes downright wacky places across Australia — sniffing out stories, soaking up culture, and stirring up plenty of doggy mischief along the way.

In every book of The Big Aussie Tails of WomBog and VishVash, young readers tag along as the duo uncover fascinating landmarks, meet new friends, and learn about the unique landscapes, animals, and people that make Australia so special. With playful banter, tail-wagging curiosity, and helpful notes at the end of each chapter, this charming series invites kids to discover Australia—one pawprint at a time.

About the Author

 

After spending 20 years as an infantry officer in the Australian Army, Pat became an executive consultant with his own company fixing projects and business problems, and still does.

Much of this book was written over ten years ago when he lived in Canberra. Unfortunately, it fell into a long pause as he got consumed with work and his family got consumed in their own lives.

But with the arrival of grandchildren and with both WomBog and VishVash getting older, he decided to resurrect it as a gift to his grandchildren and other family members so they can learn about two very special personalities who have brought incredible joy to his family for a long time.

Pat lives with his wife on a small rural property in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland that permits both WomBog and VishVash to charge around like pork chops and silly sausages, play in the dam and explore the paddocks and the bush.

Floki

The Story of A Fluffy Little Rescue Chihuahua

After being adopted by his new family, Floki sets off into the Australian bush and meets a lively bunch of bush friends, each with their own special ‘thing’. But what about Floki – does he have his very own little ‘thing’?

In his search for what makes him special, Floki discovers the magic of family and the warmth of love from his new home, complete with four lovable adopted siblings.

Floki: The Story of a Fluffy Little Rescue Chihuahua is a heartwarming tale perfect for animal lovers of all ages who know the power of love, family and friendships.

About the Author

Di Hedges proves that every great adventure has a second act. Before settling into the peaceful rhythm of bush life in Canoelands, Australia, Di was rocking out behind the scenes, working with some of the biggest rock bands of the ’80s and ’90s. She traded in backstage passes for a different kind of joy: the chaos and love of a home filled with five adopted furry friends.

When she’s not writing, you can find Di tending to her organic garden, practicing yoga, or traveling to her favourite spiritual destinations, Thailand and India. But her most important role? Being “Ra Ra” to her grandson, Ryker. It was during their story time snuggles that the tale of a little growly chihuahua began to wag its way into her heart.

Inspired by her own fluffy family, Di channelled her passion for animal rescue into her debut children’s book Floki The Story of a Fluffy Little Rescue Chihuahua. She knows first hand how a little love can transform a life, and she poured that belief into every word of Floki. Di’s story is a beautiful reminder that everyone—whether on two legs or four—deserves a chance to find their way home and discover what makes them special.

Waggy Tails with Archie & Dougal

Fun times with Waggy Tails to Rainbows end.

 

About the Author

Tracey lives in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. She has always had a fondness for West Highland White Terriers and Scottie dogs.

“I’ve enjoyed the companionship of my two boys. Dougal was with us from the age of 6 weeks. Archie was 2 and a half when he joined our family to become Dougal’s ‘big brother’, and my shy but cheeky little gentleman.”

Both Archie and Dougal were diabetic in their last 4 years. They had special diets, and insulin injections day and night (which Tracey had to learn to administer). This did not slow down their playfulness and love of life. Sadly, both have now crossed the rainbow bridge, when Archie was 15, in December 2022, and Dougal at 14, in January 2024.

They brought so much joy and love, and they are both greatly missed.
