Sequel to Cuthbert Joins the Bush Boys. More exciting adventures in the Wild Bush Mountains with Greg, Bernie and Kate Cumberland.
Upper Primary (9-12 years)+
The school holidays are over. Sickness at home means the city Cumberland boys and girls stay on at The Hills of Home, and Cuthbert stays, too. Mornings are for homeschooling, and afternoons searching for the long lost gold, stolen by the bush rangers in 1880.
Jenny and Judy, and Kate and her little sister Tess, declare they are 'bush girls' - and bush rangers (i.e. bushwalkers). Their bushranging centres on picnics at The Mermaids' Pool and sharing in the detective work of their older brothers.
Rival gangs of boys and girls from the co-ed Grammar School, egged on by teachers, are also after the gold and add zest to the search.
This third story spans two weeks and though there is no camping out at night there is plenty of adventure time in the bush.
This is perhaps the first Australian children's adventure set in a home schooling context, plus a detective story and treasure hunt, and much bushy excitement.
With over 50 pictures, diagrams and things to do including knots and how to tie them, codes, spring and beam balances, levers and pulleys.
Not just a great read but a manual for fostering self-reliance and leadership.
