Book Description
Well, it looks like everything?s going wrong for the Angels! There?s a new principal at Boyer, who runs the place more like an army than a school; their favourite teacher Ms Lee is on leave and her replacement, Ms Trimbold, obviously doesn?t like them. Suddenly Meg and Mike are constantly in trouble. There's no more mobile phones at school, no more time off to help with animal rescues and worst of all they are suspended when Foxie accuses Mike of bringing Feral the ferret to school. It?s Foxie?s ferret, of course, but somehow he and Greash have persuaded the new teacher that the Greens are the real school troublemakers! When a baby wombat is dumped in the Greens? driveway, the Angels are sure Greash and Foxie are behind it. There are no wombats in the Otways, so someone must have brought this baby here deliberately. Boris, the reformed former leader of the School Rulers gang, decides to go undercover. He pretends to be in with Foxie and Greash so the Angels can find out what?s going on. When they discover a secret camp in the mountain, they dig up a scam that goes all the way to the top of the new school administration! OPERATION WOMBAT is the ninth instalment in a series loved by children all over Australia.

The Last of the Lucky Childhoods
Author: Iain Winton
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1528981480
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
This is the story of my childhood recollections while growing up in Glasgow. The streets were still for kids and we knew how to make our own fun, though some of the mischiefs we got up to may not be classed as fun nowadays. If we were poor, we didn’t realise it; if we were ill-treated, we thought of it as normal. Kids didn’t complain in those days (or they got a ‘slap across the lug’). Kids knew their place, we just got on with life and enjoyed it to the fullest. As Billy Connolly would say: “What I’m about to tell you is true...well mostly.” If any of my old pals, relatives, or friends recognise themselves on these pages, you’re most likely right...but I have changed the names (in some instances) to protect the guilty!

Alone Near Alice
Author: Harold Harbaugh
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595533868
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
On their second trip to Australia, Ruth and Harold met a couple during a Great Barrier Reef cruise. They and their children eventually became great friends. Lynette and Rob had lived in Washington, DC and had traveled all over the world, but they had never been to the Outback. So when the opportunity to explore it under the sponsorship of the highly respected National Trust appeared, they seized the chance and invited the Harbaughs along. The almost three week journey involved one widely traveled American couple, 14 reserved Aussies, and a driver named Dave. Together they explored deserted telegraph stations, hidden water holes, and compelling Outback attractions rarely seen by outsiders. The well educated Australians aboard were expecting a university scholar to conduct this 8,000 mile circle that included 5 of the 7 Australian States and 1 Territory, but they ended up with Dave, a mate whose favorites subjects were beer, fishing, and lame, politically incorrect jokes.

Rambling Man
Author: Billy Connolly
Publisher: Two Roads
ISBN: 1399802593
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING HILARIOUS NEW BOOK FROM THE NATION'S FAVOURITE COMEDIAN, BILLY CONNOLLY Being a Rambling Man was what I always wanted to be, to live the way I damn well pleased. I've met the weirdest and most wonderful people who walk the Earth, seen the most bizarre and the most fantastic sights - and I've rarely come across something I couldn't get a laugh at. I don't think I've ever had a bad trip. Well, apart from in the 1970s, but that's a whole other story . . . When Billy set out from Glasgow as a young man he never looked back. He played his banjo on boats and trains, under trees, and on top of famous monuments. He danced naked in snow, wind and fire. He slept in bus stations, under bridges and on strangers' floors. He travelled by foot, bike, ship, plane, sleigh - even piggy-backed - to get to his next destination. Billy has wandered to every corner of the earth and believes that being a Rambling Man is about more than just travelling - it's a state of mind. Rambling Men and Women are free spirits who live on their wits, are interested in people and endlessly curious about the world. They love to play music, make art or tell stories along the way but, above all, they have a longing in their heart for the open road. In his joyful new book, Billy explores this philosophy and how it has shaped him, and he shares hilarious new stories from his lifetime on the road. From riding his trike down America's famous Route 66, building an igloo on an iceberg in the Arctic, playing elephant polo (badly) in Nepal and crashing his motorbike (more than once), to eating witchetty grubs in Australia, being serenaded by a penguin in New Zealand, and swapping secrets in a traditional Sweat Lodge ritual in Canada, Rambling Man is a truly global adventure with the greatest possible travel companion.
