Bango Wind Farm

Topsy Turbo’s History Adventure written by children’s short story writer Pati Duyckers a local woman in her late eighties who retired from the workplace to live on a sheep farm near Boorowa in rural New South Wales.

Pati writes short stories for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and other young children to enjoy. Pati has been very involved in the Boorowa Historical Society and was one of the strong movers behind the Boorowa Historic Railway display boards at the Old Courthouse Park in Boorowa. Talking to a Bango Wind Farm team member about her short stories, Pati was challenged to write a story about a wind turbine. Pati, got to work and researched the history of electricity producing wind turbines, and so the story of Topsy was born.

Illustrated by the BWF team member, Topsy Turbo’s History Adventure is published by Squadron Energy and given free to primary schools and any child that wants to read it.
