Wonderful read. Adventures bush children would love and city children would dream about. A must read for all Australian children

When three children are left without parents or guardians, the Child Welfare Department take charge of them. The Department have a plan for the children’s future. The children are quite unhappy with the plan and set about finding a way out of the dilemma. With the resourcefulness typical of Australian bush kids, they plan and carry out a course of action that enables them to “fly beneath the radar” of the authorities in such a way that they are never identified as missing. The children pack their gear on bicycles and travel the far outback regions of Australia looking for a home where they can live together. Based loosely on events that actually happened to the author, the dialogue and descriptions ring true. The reader is quickly drawn into the story and soon feels that they know Peter, Robyn and Billy very well. Sharing their fears, joys, adventures and challenges, the reader experiences all the emotions. This is a story that appeals to all ages – one that is hard to put down and one to reread over and over.
