The Nargun and The Stars is a children's fantasy novel set in Australia, written by Patricia Wrightson.

The story is set in Australia, and involves an orphaned city boy named Simon Brent who comes to live on a 5000-acre sheep station called Wongadilla, in the Hunter Region, with his mother's second cousins, Edie and Charlie.

In a remote valley on the property he discovers a variety of ancient Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime creatures.

The arrival of heavy machinery intent on clearing the land brings to life the ominous stone Nargun.

[3] The Nargun is a creature drawn from tribal legends of the Gunai or Kurnai people of the area now known as the Mitchell River National Park in Victoria.
