Product Description
Product Description
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to journey to the other side of the world, to brave a land of desert and desolation - the Australian Outback. The last great land mass to be discovered by Europeans, the Aboriginal tribes settled here thousands of years earlier, establishing a rich and colourful culture. What secrets does this strange land hold? And which rare animals will you encounter? It's not just cuddly koalas you should prepare to meet...Will you survive? If anyone can help you, Simon Chapman can.
About the Author
High-school physics teacher by day, intrepid explorer by school holiday, meet the real live Indiana Jones, Simon Chapman. In the research of the Explorers Wanted! series, Simon's travels have taken him all over the world, from Borneo and Irian Jaya to the Amazon. When not dealing with blood-sucking leeches or suffering frostbite, Simon leads a more sedate life in Lancaster with his wife and two young children.

Format:Paperback
My 9-year-old son loves Simon Chapman's books, and it's not hard to see why. They are crammed with exciting information about the author's expeditions to the world's remotest places, (he has really been there so he knows what he's talking about) and it's all presented in a highly readable journal-style format, with lots of drawings and fun quizzes.
This 'Outback' book is about Australia and it's full of interesting info about geography and survival. You can find out how to play the didgeridoo, how to use Aboriginal weapons, how to deal with crocs and how to avoid all those venomous snakes....!
It is all beautifully presented in a style that kids find very appealing. Buy with confidence.
