Outback Kids Dennis J Butler

On a sprawling cattle station in the Kimberley region of northern Australia three friends set out to go swimming and fishing in the warm waters of the Coral Sea. What they were to catch however was something entirely unexpected. Although the ocean is populated with Crocodiles, huge Barramundi, reef sharks, Dugongs and stone fish the children know what to catch and what to stay away from. They soon learn that other dangers don't always live in the sea but have the ability to dramatically affect their way of life. From School of the Air tutoring, mustering huge mobs of cattle on horseback to motor cycle adventures across hundreds of square kilometres of the cattle station, the children live a unique lifestyle that constantly challenges.
