Stories from the outback and beyond.
Some of My Friends Have Tails includes stories of all the animals who have played such a large part in Sara's life: Rosa the goanna who swam in the family pool. Pye-Wacket the cat who grew up believing he was a dog and Sundowner the poddy calf who loved eating the washing, 35mm film, and sheet music off the piano.
But not all the characters in Sara's life are four-legged. We meet the sixteen-year-old housekeeper who was smuggling drugs, and the Italian gardener who sang opera at dawn. And there are some familiar faces as well: Charlie, Uncle Dick, Max, and Marlee.
