Description

It’s a travel “Down Under” for Christina, 10, Grant, 7, and their mystery-writing grandmother Mimi! A variety of surprises and mysterious activities unfold as the group travels through the Outback, Queensland, and in any case to the Great Barrier Reef. All the way through a glass-bottom boat ride, they discover more than coral and fish under the water–scuba divers and flesh-tearing moray eel lurk beneath their boat! They shudder on the eerie screech of the Tasmanian devil and brave the awesome Australian Outback (and Aborigines!) at night. Watch and wonder as Grant leads to the Camel Cup camel race – will he make it to the finish line? Don’t miss a moment of excitement in Christina and Grant’s Australian adventure!
