What British teenager wouldn t jump at the chance of exploration in Australia with the hunt for hidden secrets? Our hero, Billy Carmody, is a bright lad awaiting his A-level results and hungry for more adventure. Once he can decide what he wants to do, of course! But Billy is just a bit different, for he has received an exciting and mysterious bequest from his old grandfather Ben in gold mining territory in the Queensland outback. Armed with knowledge and a head full of secrets and questions, he sets off with his mother and his best mate Sam to find out all he can. It is his second trip but he isn t the only one with plans and secrets and he soon realises that his travelling companions have their own hidden agendas too. In the company of our intrepid, energetic explorers we go on a four week tour of Australia, discovering through the eyes of young teenagers all that this fabulous land has to offer, from koalas and crocodiles to deserts and sun-kissed beaches, all with a backdrop of true Aussie warmth and hospitality. With so much to distract him, is it possible that Billy will really find what he is looking for and can he keep his fellow travellers happy?
"Old Ben's Scrapbook" is the third story in the Billy Carmody trilogy. It follows on from "People Watching" and "Ravenswood and Custard" and describes Billy's long awaited return to Australia and the Far East - this time with different travelling partners, including his best pal Sammy. It took a great deal of travel and research to produce an accurate text and any reader so minded could use the story as their own travel guide if they wished to follow in Billy's foootsteps and experience his exciting journey for themselves. There is just one obvious danger in doing this. Like the author and his young protégé Billy, they might just get "hooked" on the amazing beauty and awesome splendour that is Australia. One trip would never be enough to satisfy their curiosity and fulfil their expectations of the land Downunder. Mike Arkinstall has been visiting Oz for the last twenty years and he still hasn't seen enough. Like Billy and Sam he can't wait for his next visit.
