Bunyip Land

Bunyip Land by George Manville Fenn
By: (1831-1909)

Bunyip Land by George Manville Fenn is a thrilling adventure story that takes readers on a journey through the Australian outback. The story follows a group of children who find themselves stranded in the wilderness after their caravan breaks down. As they struggle to survive in the harsh landscape, they encounter dangerous animals, mysterious Aboriginal legends, and the mythical bunyip creature.

Fenn does an excellent job of creating a vivid and immersive setting, allowing readers to feel like they are right there with the characters as they face their challenges. The pacing of the story is fast-paced, keeping readers engaged from start to finish.

The characters are well-developed and likable, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. The children's resourcefulness and determination in the face of adversity make them easy to root for, while the villainous characters add an element of suspense and danger.

Overall, Bunyip Land is a gripping adventure story that will appeal to readers of all ages. Fenn's descriptive writing style and engaging plot make this a book that is hard to put down.

Book Description:

Joe Carstairs is a boy on a farm in Australia. His father is a keen naturalist who, some years before had set off for New Guinea in search of specimens, and never been heard of again. Joe is old enough to mount a search expedition, and takes with him a local doctor and an aboriginal worker on his farm. They find themselves joined by a stowaway, Jimmy, whose father is a squatter (farmer) nearby, together with his dog, Gyp.
This team sets off, arrive in New Guinea, hire some more porters, and travel guided by some sixth sense straight to where Mr. Carstairs has been kept a prisoner, along with another Englishman, whose mind has gone, under the stress of his imprisonment.
There are lots of close shaves and tense moments, will they achieve their end? (Gutenberg Text)

I had to read the first 2 chapters because it was difficult to understand narrator . The next 2 narrators had good enunciation and diction.
